This topic needs more understanding of Genomics-Gotra applicable to Humans, except liberals.
start looking at the genomes and similarities.
The size of the bovine genome is 3GB (3 billion base pairs).

It contains approximately 22,000 genes of which 14,000 are common to all mammalian species. Bovines share 80% of their genes with humans.
