Map of the original wild aurochs populations. Letters refer to mitochondrial haplogroups confirmed by ancient DNA, squares refer to unique variation observed at specific location, and haplogroups followed by ‘?’ refer to haplogroups where the locality of origin is not based on sequencing of aurochs remains, but representation in either modern or ancient domestic cattle. Areas shaded in grey, labelled with ‘?’ designate unknown population affiliation and unknown original mitochondrial linages. The “C*” implicates C is not found in any genome sequenced cattle or aurochs.
