That's easy. If "wild" supports their hypothesis then they must be wild, but if "domestic" supports their hypothesis then they must be domestic.

Human nature is at work and if evidence is open to interpretation then almost always it's claimed to support the hypothesis that brings the discoverer the most fame and money. Science, after all, is a career and to have a successful one means publishing stuff that extends the boundaries of accepted orthodoxy. Extra points are awarded if the researcher can claim it disproves something in the Bible.
