A hypothetical timeline of the domestication process starts about 7.300 BP with nomadic herders, which burn grazing land to favorize the yaks. The first findings of agricultural settlements are not older than 5.200 BP, one finds cattle evidence around 4.500 BP in Qinghai, around 3.300 BP in Tibet. A strong increase of the yak population is observed around 3.600 BP (after the introduction of domesticated sheep, goats, wheat and barley). Cross-breeding between yak and cattle are well established independantly in W and E Tibet around 3.200 BP. There are separate words for male and female yak as well as F1 hybrids in proto-tibetan languages. The old tibetan words yak, 'bri, mdzo and 'brong are borrowed into other languages, 'bri becomes the sanskrit camari, 'brong is applied in burmese languages not to the wild yak, but to the wild gaur (Bos gaurus). Breeding terminology develops, f. ex. mgal for F2-hybrids between yak and dzo, rtol for F2-hybrids between bull and dzo.
For the Wild yak see 'brong.
