Nov 3, 2021 · Anthropological analysis finds that dogs have been accorded human-like burial rites for thousands of years. “It’s ubiquitous,” says Petra Cunningham-Smith, a doctoral candidate at the University of Florida who studies the role of dogs in ancient Mesoamerica.

In 2021, a literature review of the current evidence infers that domestication of the dog began in Siberia 26,000-19,700 years ago by Ancient North Eurasians, then later dispersed eastwards into the Americas and westwards across Eurasia. This hypothesis is derived from when genetic divergences are inferred to have happened.
Aug 23, 2010 · As early as the work of Zeuner (1963), theorists pointed out that the human-dog relationship was not like other dynamics of domestication, and that dogs themselves may have initiated a process that led to their eventual domestication by living commensally, or following along with humans and slowly adapting to life with our type, rather than by ...
The evolution of dogs is closely linked to the emergence and spreading of humans ( Homo sapiens ), so some knowledge of the latest phase of human evolution (the last 50 000 years) is required. This also means that changing views of human evolution can affect our understanding of dog domestication.
Jan 15, 2015 · This idea is built on the assumption that dogs have been selected to cooperate and communicate with humans during domestication and, thus, evolved some genetic predispositions allowing them to develop skills shared with humans (Hare et al., 2002; Topál et al., 2009; Miklósi and Topál, 2013 ).

Jan 1, 2022 · Did dogs inherit these abilities from wolves or were they shaped by domestication to understand humans in a new way? The domestication hypothesis. Dogs have lived alongside humans for thousands of years; evidence of coburial with humans dates back to as early as 4300 BCE (Thomas et al., 2021).
