AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The authors examined early chicken bones from four sites in China (Nanzhuangtou, Cishan, Wangyin, and Jiuliandun Chu tombs) dating from 10,000 to 2300 BP. The DNA from these remains were compared with other known chicken DNA worldwide to determine whether the bones were chicken, and to which species or haplotype they might belong. It is proposed that China was one of places chickens were domesticated.
