Extended Data Fig. 5

We explicitly tested allele sharing of Bos populations (East Asian indicine, n = 3; South Asian indicine, n = 4; North Asia, n = 3; Rhine, n = 2; North Africa wild, n = 1; Neolithic Anatolia, n = 3; Southwest Asia wild, n = 1). with wild Eurasian Bovini (Banteng, n = 4; Gaur, n = 3; Wild Yak, n = 3; Wisent, n = 1) relative to western European aurochs (n = 12) using D (water buffalo (n = 3), Bovini sp.; western Europe, Bos test) using SNPs called on Bovini outgroups. We repeatedly observed significant excess allele sharing between indicine and outgroup Bovini species compared to western European populations. All other Bos primigenius/Bos taurus populations suggest clade integrity, except Pleistocene North Asia which displayed slightly higher allele sharing with Bovini outgroups, but at an order of magnitude lower than that shown by Bos indicus. Error bars depict the standard error of each test multiplied by 3.
