Article Synopsis
- Dromedaries have played a crucial role in the development of civilizations in dry regions and have facilitated trade and cultural exchange across ancient routes like the Silk Road.
- Recent research reveals significant population differentiation among dromedaries in Asia and Africa, despite past studies indicating minimal genetic structure, highlighting a more complex demographic history.
- The study found that historical events, including a bottleneck in the Pleistocene and expansions during the Ottoman Empire, have influenced the genetic diversity of modern dromedaries, emphasizing the need to protect localized populations for their sustainability.
