We are pleased to announce that an article by Prof. Marta Osypińska and a team of researchers, titled ‘Cattle domestication revisited: Middle Nile evidence suggests independent origins in Africa 10,000 years ago‘, has been published in the prestigious Journal of Archaeological Science.

This publication presents groundbreaking findings on the origins of cattle domestication in Africa. Interdisciplinary analyses suggest that this process may have occurred independently in the Middle Nile Valley as early as 10,000 years ago, reshaping our understanding of human-animal relationships in prehistory. These discoveries not only shed new light on the beginnings of cattle husbandry but also on how ancient societies adapted to changing environments. This marks a significant step forward in research on early agriculture and human interactions with nature.

We encourage you to read the article!
