Here we present an intercontinental survey of Y-chromosome diversity and a comprehensive reconstruction of male-lineage zebu cattle history and diversity patterns. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that all the zebu Y-chromosome haplotypes in our dataset group within three different lineages: Y3\n                    <jats:sub>A<\/jats:sub>\n                    , the most predominant and cosmopolitan lineage; Y3\n                    <jats:sub>B<\/jats:sub>\n                    , only observed in West Africa; and Y3\n                    <jats:sub>C<\/jats:sub>\n                    , predominant in South and Northeast India. The divergence times estimated for these three Zebu-specific lineages predate domestication.

Our data suggest export of varied zebu lineages from domestication centres through time. The almost exclusive presence of Y3\n                    <jats:sub>A<\/jats:sub>\n                    haplotypes in East Africa is consistent with recent cattle restocking in this area.
