History and genetic diversity of African sheep: Contrasting phenotypic and genomic diversity. [PDF]

Anim Genet
Abstract Domesticated sheep have adapted to contrasting and extreme environments and continue to play important roles in local community‐based economies throughout Africa. Here we review the Neolithic migrations of thin‐tailed sheep and the later introductions of fat‐tailed sheep into eastern Africa.

Cushitic–Nilotic Contacts: Tanzanian Cushitic and Kalenjin

, 2023
Heine, Rottland and Vossen (1979) proposed a Cushitic language termed proto-Baz on the basis of Cushitic loans in South Nilotic. Similar and additional proposals are in Christopher Ehret’s PhD thesis (1971). In a critical review of the evidence in the light of data and reconstructions that have become available since, we argue that (1) there is no ...
