Sheep were domesticated in the Old World around 10,000 to 11,000 years ago, primarily in the regions of the Fertile Crescent, which includes parts of modern-day Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Archaeological evidence indicates that this process began during the Neolithic period, as humans transitioned from nomadic lifestyles to settled agriculture. These early domesticated sheep were primarily raised for their meat, milk, and wool.
