Abstract
The relationship between humans and animals is deep and ancient. The spread of our Early Bronze Age (3300–2500 BCE) ancestors from central Eurasia westwards into Europe and eastwards towards Mongolia depended on the domestication of horses, sheep, goats, and cattle. Migration is a defining characteristic of who we are as a species. But the extent of our migration has long been entwined with the fate of animals. These relationships are only growing more complex over time. One aspect of our association with animals has recently provoked a controversy of momentous geopolitical importance—the origin of SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic that it has caused.
