Bovini evolution: Bovini evolution is the diversification of the tribe’s lineages over geological time. It traces the shared ancestry behind cattle, bison, and buffalo.
Domestication of cattle: The domestication of cattle is the process by which people bred wild bovines into managed domestic populations. It transformed one Bovini lineage into a global source of food and labor.
Caprini: Caprini is a tribe of bovids that includes goats, sheep, and related species. It is a separate bovid tribe, unlike Bovini.
Bovinae: Bovinae is a subfamily of Bovidae that includes cattle, bison, buffalo, and several related groups. Bovini is classified within this subfamily.
American bison: The American bison is a large North American bovine native to grasslands and open woodlands. It represents the bison lineage within Bovini.
Bovid evolution: Bovid evolution is the evolutionary history of the family Bovidae, including its living and extinct lineages. It places Bovini’s origins within the broader history of bovids.
Cattle breeds: Cattle breeds are distinct populations of domestic cattle selected for inherited traits and managed reproduction. Selective breeding produced the diverse forms of domestic Bovini.
Antilopini: Antilopini is a tribe of bovids that includes gazelles and related antelopes. Its members are antelopes rather than the cattle, bison, and buffalo of Bovini.
