No, I don't subscribe to Science News. If you have anything on goats to mention, that would be cool, of course.
Among other "findings" the researchers said it looks like goats and sheep were domesticated at about the same time in the same places, and from the beginning have ran in mixed herds, just like they do today.
I think of the goats as the first serious insurance policy ~ no matter what happens to your other animals, or your crops, goats will survive ~
