The domesticated races of sheep seem to have had three original wild sources, the Ovis musimon of South Europe, the Ovis arkal of Western Asia and the Ovis tragelaphus of North Africa. Most of our present European and American races come from the second named of these wild kinds. The earliest certain remains of tame sheep appear in the Stone Age. In the Bronze Age sheep domestication was well developed. The oldest of Assyrian drawings picture domesticated sheep, among which the still persisting fat- tailed race appears. The Egyptians had domesticated sheep in pre-Pharaonian times. Our goats also are descended from three wild races, namely Capra aegagrus of Western Asia, Capra falconeri.
