Evolutionary relationships of Red Jungle Fowl and chicken breeds.

One subspecies of the red jungle fowl (Gallus gallus) serve as the matriarchic ancestor of all domestic breeds.

Sequences from seventeen species were used to infer phylogeny resulting in five clusters, a cluster of ten Mammalian species, a single isolated cluster of Red Jungle Fowl, a single cluster of Amphibians, a cluster consisting of Fish and a cluster with a species of hemichordate and Atlantic salmon (Figure 3).

The modern chicken is a descendant of Red Jungle fowl hybrids along with the Grey Jungle fowl first raised thousands of years ago in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent.

It is estimated that there are more than 23 billion, and in spite of remaining close to the Red Jungle Fowl that it was domesticated from over 10,000 years ago, it comes in a bewildering variety of shapes and sizes.

The campus of Michigan State University is home to Female #256, the Red Jungle Fowl (Gallus gallus) chicken whose blood samples gave researchers the 1 billion DNA units needed to create the first high-quality draft sequence of the chicken genome.

The researchers suggest that domestic poultry may share a preference for trees with their wild ancestor the red jungle fowl, which shelters in Asian bamboo forests.

In 1928 they were ready to receive the first animals - two Amherst pheasants, a golden pheasant and five red jungle fowl. Soon they also housed muntjacs, llamas, wombats and skunks.
