    [size=52]Iraq precedes Europe with chickens: Scientists believe that it arrived in Mesopotamia 3,000 years ago[/size]

    [size=45]The American “Archaeology” website stated that a European study revealed that chicken birds may have arrived in Iraq about 3 thousand years ago, and that the human shift to the fields of grain cultivation is what may have attracted chickens to them, and served as an incentive for humans to domesticate and raise them.[/size]
    [size=45]The report quoted zoological archaeologist Joris Peters of Germany's Ludwig Maximilian University as saying that "grain cultivation may have acted as a catalyst for the domestication of chickens."[/size]
    [size=45]Peters and colleagues, including pathologist Julia Best of Cardiff University in Britain, studied chicken bones of the tropical Gallus gallus species of Southeast Asia at more than 600 archaeological sites in 89 countries.[/size]
    [size=45]The report pointed out that the oldest known remains of chickens dated back to between 1650 and 1250 BC and are in the Ban Nun Wat region in central Thailand, where rice was grown in a land soaked with monsoon rains.[/size]
    [size=45]He added that it was believed that the rice fields had attracted these chickens from the nearby forests and came into contact with humans.[/size]
    [size=45]The report quoted Peters as saying that pieces of skeletons and the remains of whole chickens were found in human burials in Ban Nun Wat and other sites in Southeast Asia, which may indicate that they had some social significance to the population.[/size]
    [size=45]The report stated that it is believed that domesticated chickens arrived in central China, Iran and Iraq about 3,000 years ago, then to Europe about 2,800 years ago, and to Africa about 1,100 and 800 years ago.[/size]
