Assuming you’re not attempting some tenuous euphemism, I don’t know how to respond to that. I’m not even arguing a point.

i do apolagise, excuse my blabbing.

Ugh, fine.
Cattle were first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East with the advent of agriculture. They would later be exported to neighbouring lands.
The wild ox native to Europe ( Bos primigenius) was hunted to extinction several hundred years ago. A global study of genetic variation from cattle in India, the Near East, Europe and Africa showed that Indian cattle, Bos indicus, showed a much higher divergence from the rest ( Bos taurus). African cattle are also quite distinct, but the variation in European breeds are similar to those of Near Eastern origin, evidence that they are imported and not bred from native stock.
Furthermore, the sequencing of the DNA from six bone fragments of the extinct native ox Bos pimigenius found in different archaeological sites in Britain are distinct from modern cattle but similar to each other. This shows that the first farmers bred only with what they had received from the east, and not with the local wild stock. Our cattle have not been resident to Britain for 10,000 years.
QED.
This is, however, pointless. |
this proves my point. i just typed 'cattle origins' into google and this is the first site you see;

same as above.
you missed these:

Cattle domestication was one of a series of far reaching innovations which took place in the region of the Fertile Crescent in the Near East about 10,000 years ago which together gave us agriculture. The wild ox was a formidable animal, and as well as meat and later, milk, provided the first beast of burden to early farmers. It is quite clear that sheep, goat and many of the plant species which were first bred in the Fertile Crescent were then directly imported into Europe as their wild ancestors didn't have a range that included this continent.

However, as the wild ox was a successful early European inhabitant until being hunted to extinction only several hundred years ago, it is an open question as to whether the ancestors of today's breeds came in a wholesale migration from the East or rather from local domestication.

We sequenced the same piece of DNA from six ancient bone specimens (thousands of years in age) from wild ox found in different archaeological sites in Britain. These were all clearly distinct from all modern cattle, and similar to each other – implying that first farmers bred with what they had received from the East

i meant cattle in britain, which stands for cows, Ox, and other bovine animals in this category. this info does not deny cattle inhabiting Britain for over 10,000 years, but does not prove it either. i'd say theres a good chance they did, as it says above;

your evidence was biased, where as this is not: it does not say

. the evidence is before you, ive just highlighted the points proving my theory.
this is not meant to be callous, just discussion.
