The argument mainly relied on by those who believe in the multiple origin of our domestic animals is, that we find in the most ancient times, on the monuments of Egypt, and in the lake-habitations of Switzerland, much diversity in the breeds; and that some of these ancient breeds closely resemble, or are even identical with, those still existing.
Gure etxe-animalien jatorri anitzean sinesten dutenen argudioa hauxe da batik bat, hots, antzina-antzinatik Egiptoko monumentuetan eta Suitzako etxebizitza lakutarretan arraza pilo handia aurkitzen dugula, eta antzinako arraza horietako asko gaur ditugunen antz-antzekoak direla eta batzuk berdinak ere bai.
