In order to understand when, where, and how they first became associated with human societies, we critically assessed the domestic status of chicken remains described in >600 sites in 89 countries, and evaluated zoogeographic, morphological, osteometric, stratigraphic, contextual, iconographic, and textual data. Although previous studies have made claims for an early origin of chickens, our results suggest that unambiguous chickens were not present until ∼1650 to 1250 BCE in central Thailand. A correlation between early chickens and the first appearance of rice and millet cultivation suggests that the production and storage of these cereals may have acted as a magnet, thus initiating the chicken domestication process. date: 2022-06-14 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2121978119 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1961638 doi: 10.1073/pnas.2121978119 lyricists_name: Fuller, Dorian lyricists_id: DFULL78 actors_name: Bracey, Alan actors_id: ABBRA90 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America volume: 119 number: 24 article_number: e2121978119 event_location: United States citation: Peters, Joris; Lebrasseur, Ophélie; Irving-Pease, Evan K; Paxinos, Ptolemaios Dimitrios; Best, Julia; Smallman, Riley; Callou, Cécile; ...
