Neolithic farmers brought deer to Ireland
They didn’t have enough indigenous pests to eat their crops, so had to import?
:’) Stone Age peoples used to keep wild deer herded up for times when they wanted steaks, and may even have milked ‘em. About 8000 years ago a preceramic cultural group left mainland Near East for Cyprus (that settlement is known, their previous location is unknown) and took mainland species with them, including local deer.
