本文描述了我国现存的5个野山羊类群的分布和外部特征。这些是turs，ibex，pasangs或bezoars，markhors和tahrs，主要分布在欧亚大陆的山区，也在埃塞俄比亚，阿拉伯南部和印度南部。在新世界里没有真正的野山羊。国内山羊被认为是在地理分组，阿尔卑斯山，巴尔干半岛的，叙利亚，努比亚，西亚和中亚，南亚和东亚，并简要描述了从外观和使用的立场。为了方便起见，矮山羊被视为一个品种群。根据形态学的比较和不同种山羊杂交成功的证据，对S.E.亚洲被认为是大多数家养山羊的祖先。山羊可能已经进入了一些印度品种的发展，而野山羊可能已经进入了努比亚品种的发展，可能是通过与已经驯化的牛黄品种杂交。有人认为，野山羊的主要驯化中心位于亚洲西南部高地的东部，因为今天印度河低地和西部山区的原始品种数量最多，种类最多。
The distribution and external characteristics of 5 groups of extant wild goats are described. These are the turs, ibexes, pasangs or bezoars, markhors and tahrs which are found mainly in the mountainous areas of Eurasia and also in Ethiopia, Southern Arabia and Southern India. There are no true wild goats in the new world. Domestic goats are considered in the geographical groupings, Alpine, Balkan, Syrian, Nubian, West and Central Asian, South and East Asian, and described briefly from the standpoint of external appearance and usage. Dwarf goats are treated for convenience as a breed group. On the basis of comparative morphology and evidence of successful interbreeding of various species ofCaprathe wild bezoar of S.E. Asia is regarded as the progenitor of the majority of domestic goats. The markhor may have entered into the development of some Indian breeds and the ibex into Nubian breeds, probably by crossing with already domesticated bezoar stock. It is suggested that the main centre of domestication of the wild goat lay in the eastern part of the S.W. Asian uplands, on the grounds that the greatest number and variety of primitive breeds occur to-day in the Indus lowlands and the mountains to the west.
