Equus africanus mureybeti

[Melanie]

In the
earliest Holocene, wild asses were also present in northern
Arabia (Ducos 1986; Groves 1896); a subspecies
Equus africanus mureybeti Ducos 1986 has been
described from pre-pottery levels in Iraq, but Eisenmann
(1995) is not convinced that the remains are ass rather
than onager.
