Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Origin of the domestic dog which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 11:03, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The move discussion to which this discussion links says, "The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it."

It also seems to indicate that the move has been completed.

How do we go about initiating a discussion of the present page, "Domestication of the goat"? There is a gross error which I would like to discuss.

"Natural history following the divergence of the subfamily Caprinae" is wrong

The section "Natural history following the divergence of the subfamily Caprinae" contains some statements that simply can not be correct, and cites no sources for them.

I do not have a better source to cite than my gut, but my gut tells me that these statements are ludicrous.

It says that sheep evolved in "the Mesoamerica" and goats evolved in South America.

Could someone with more time on their hands than I please find a source and rewrite this paragraph, citing the source? CbonnerNH (talk) 21:15, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
