Domestication and Origins of the Modern Horse Breeds

Abstract

This study aimed to collect some studies which focused on modern horse breeds' genetic origins and effects of domestication on horses. Domestication, the first step of using animals by humanity. Many variations are shaped modern animal species and breeds, also animal breeding techniques and science. Horses have a place in livestock animals from the past to the present day. Many studies focused on the genetic origins and domestication of modern horse breeds. Recent studies demonstrated domestication areas, and genetic origins of horses, and changed in filial trees.

Evciltme ve Atların Genetik Kökeni

Abstract

Bu çalışmada evciltmenin atlar üzerine olan etkileri ile modern at türünün genetik kökenine dair yapılan çeşitli çalışmalar derlenmiştir. İnsan hayvan ilişkileri, evcilleştirme ile belirli bir sisteme sahip olmaya başlamış ve giderek günümüz hayvan yetiştiriciliğine evrilmiştir. Evcilleştirme ile birlikte çeşitli türlerde meydana gelen çeşitli değişimler günümüz modern hayvancılığının ve modern hayvan yetiştirme biliminin gelişmesini de sağlamıştır. Çiftlik hayvanları içerisinde evciltildiği günden beri özel bir alana sahip olan atların gerek evciltilmesi gerekse kökeni hakkında pek çok tartışma yürütülmektedir. Yapılan son çalışmalarda atların evciltme bölgeleri ve genetik kökenleri yeniden şekillenmiş, at türlerinin filial yapısı değişmiştir.
