[[File:Domestic Goose.jpg|thumb|left|upright|An [[Emden goose]], a descendant of the wild [[greylag goose]]]]
The [[greylag goose]] (''Anser anser'') was domesticated by the Egyptians at least 3000 years ago, and a different wild species, the [[swan goose]] (''Anser cygnoides''), domesticated in Siberia about a thousand years later, is known as a [[Chinese goose]]. The two [[hybrid (biology)|hybrid]]ise with each other and the large knob at the base of the beak, a noticeable feature of the Chinese goose, is present to a varying extent in these hybrids. The hybrids are fertile and have resulted in several of the modern breeds. Despite their early domestication, geese have never gained the commercial importance of chickens and ducks.

[[greylag goose/ja|ハイイロガン]](''Anser anser'')は少なくとも3000年前にエジプトで家禽化され、別の野生種である[[swan goose/ja|サワラガン]](''Anser cygnoides'')は約1000年後にシベリアで家禽化され、[[Chinese goose/ja|シナガチョウ]]として知られる。両者は互いに[[Hybrid (biology)/ja|交雑]]し、シナガチョウの顕著な特徴である嘴基部の大きなこぶは、これらの雑種にも程度の差はあれ現れる。雑種は繁殖力をもち、いくつかの現代品種の成立をもたらした。早期に家禽化されたにもかかわらず、ガチョウが商業的重要性でニワトリやアヒルに並ぶことはなかった。
