  8. Chianina Larger cattle in the world. The bull "Donetto" reached the weigh of 1.780 Kg Matera 9-12 July 2008

  9. Historical information • L. IUNIUS MODERATUS COLUMELLA (I sec B.C.) • De Re Rustica - Liber VI “[…] Umbria produces huge and white (bovines) […]” In VI – VII sec. B.C. Numa Pompilio (Roman king) introduced in Rome the use of sacrifying to gods huge white bovines used in field working Matera 9-12 July 2008

  15. How did they arrive….? Matera 9-12 July 2008

  16. When did they arrive….? T3 Egypt 16050 Datation of a T3 branch rooting in 16050 transition. Mutation shared by Tuscan, Middle Eastern cattle 16138 Tuscany, Middle East, Anatolia, Egypt 16057 16261 Tuscany East Europa (Hungary) Estimated coalescence time is 3.970 +/- 2.400years b.p.: The mutation arrived in Tuscany after Neolithic colonization of Italy (about 8.000 years b.p.) Matera 9-12 July 2008

  17. MtDNA haplogroups (T, T1, T2 and T3) Matera 9-12 July 2008

  18. Is there any link with past human history….? Matera 9-12 July 2008

  19. Is there any link with the onset of Etruscan civilisation? Matera 9-12 July 2008

  20. Etruscan had a powerful military and trading fleet and reached the Aegean sea and Anatolia Strabone, citing Eforo, reports that Greeks that were founding Naxos (734 B.C.) were afraid of Etruscan attacks. Matera 9-12 July 2008

  21. Etruscan navy controlled trade in west Mediterranean 630 – 500 B.C. Matera 9-12 July 2008

  22. Archaeology -> different opinions • Linguistics -> European or Semitic? • History -> Herodotus On-going debate on the origin of this civilisation Local development, with Eastern influences or Eastern Mediterranean provenience? • What about genetics? Matera 9-12 July 2008

  23. Most related modern population • modern Tuscans Gene flow with • Anatolia populations mtDNA analysis from Etruscan remains (Vernesi et al., 2001 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA)

  24. Genetic data from modern populations • Francalacci et al. (1996 Am. J. Phys. Anthropol. 100, 443-460.) modern mtDNA sequences suggested the presence in Tuscany of an ancient European mtDNA diversity component, subsequently enriched by migrational waves, possibly from the Middle East. • Cavalli-Sforza and coauthors assayed nuclear markers in modern humans living in Tuscany (1994 History and geography of human genes - Princeton University Press, Princeton, NY, USA). They detected a genetic discontinuityin these when compared to nearby Italian populations, explained either as an immigration from elsewhere or by the ancient expansion of a local isolated population.

  25. mtDNA of modern Tuscan people H. sapiens B. taurus Tuscany divided in Volterra, Casentino and Murlo Matera 9-12 July 2008

  26. ALL ROADS TAKE TO ROMA…..? Before Rome many roads already took nearby, to Tarquinia, Caere, Cerveteri, Chiusi, Murlo… Matera 9-12 July 2008
