maternal lineages and domestication of Chinese donkeys BMC Evolutionary Biology

Han et al (2014) in a study of Chinese donkeys found that
the Chinese donkeys are descendant from the Nubian wild ass (Equus africanus
africanus) . They believe these donkeys were in China before the Han empire.
The researchers noted that the: “ First, Chinese historical
records state that 4000 years ago, the donkey was a treasure that was rare and
only found in the aristocratic and imperial palaces”. This is an interesting
finding because I have shown elsewhere that the Kushites from Nubia: Mande and
Dravidian speakers founded the first civilizations of China: Xia and Shang
respectively. This finding offers further support to the Kushite origin of the
Xia and Shang.
