Yak domestication in the Mongolian Altai:

The documentary evidence from rock art and its implication of a northern center of yak domestication support the argument for a background in the Early Bronze Age Afanasievo culture.

sciencedirect.com/science/articl…Image “Within rock art of the northern Altai mountains, there is ample pictorial evidence that transhumance dependent on domesticated yaks emerged by the late third millennium BCE in the Mongolian Altai.”
