Domestic goats (Capra hircus) were among the first domesticated animals, adapted from the wild version Capra aegargus. Archaeological data suggest two distinct places of domestication: the Euphrates river valley at Nevali Çori, Turkey (11,000 years ago), and the Zagros Mountains of Iran at Ganj Dareh (10,000 years ago).
