Description
Takahiro Yonezawa and a large team trace how goats entered Asia in a 2025 genome wide study. Past world studies of goat genetics covered few Asian breeds. The team collected genome data for twelve populations in South, Southeast, and Central Asia and compared them with known breeds to read origin and history.
Breed links and diversity patterns showed two migration routes split by the Himalayan mountains. A northern route ran through Kazakhstan and Mongolia into Xinjiang, while a southern route ran through Bangladesh into Indochina. The routes meet in Indochina goats, which then seeded goats in the Philippines and Indonesia. Older gene markers add further waves within each route.
