First sentence: It is convenient to divide the evolutionary history of the present day domestic fowl into three phases: the first is the evolution of the genus Gallus, the second is the emergence of the domestic fowl from its progenitor(s) within the genus Gallus, and the third is the appearance of the large number of present day breeds and varieties.
