Fig. 1

a Schematic representation of the most voted scenario of colonization.The model predicts a first separation between taurine and indicine (t3) followed by independent domestication events (tdt and tdi) that took place in the Fertile Crescent and the Indus Valley, respectively. An early non-Podolian taurine migration (tD) occurred before the admixture event between taurine and indicine (ta). This scenario, simulates an admixture event (ta1) between the Balkan and Central Europe Podolian and the South-East Podolian leading to the formation of the Italian Podolian breeds. b A geographic map indicating the presumed migration routes as inferred for Scenario 3. Arrows and dotted arrows indicate the assumed or alternative (Mediterrranean or Danube) migration routes
