Abstract: When, where and why was the two-humped Bactrian camel first domesticated? A new analysis tackles these issues, drawing on a variety of archaeological evidence (and including discussion of a translation of a twelfth-century Chinese manual on camel husbandry). The answer to the first question remains pretty much a mystery. As to the second and third, the authors surmise that the likeliest answers are Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia or northern China, and for meat.
