Aug 23, 2010 · The animal connection comprises an increasingly intimate and reciprocal set of interactions between animals and humans (i.e., members of the genus Homo) starting ∼2.6 million years ago (mya). The animal connection began with the exploitation and observation of animals by humans.

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.

The dog diverged from a now-extinct population of wolves 27,000–40,000 years ago immediately before the Last Glacial Maximum, when much of the mammoth steppe was cold and dry. The domestication of the dog was the process which led to the domestic dog.
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.
Jul 6, 2018 · In addition, molecular clock analyses suggest that all PCDs share a common ancestor that lived ~14,600 years ago [95% highest posterior density (HPD), 16,484 to 12,965 years ago] (Fig. 1B and fig. S6), which had diverged from an ancestor shared with the Zhokhov Island dogs ~1000 years earlier (95% HPD, 17,646 to 13,739 years ago) (Fig. 1B and ...

Oct 29, 2020 · As early as 11,000 years ago, there were already five distinct dog lineages; these gave rise to canines in the Near East, northern Europe, Siberia, New Guinea, and the Americas, the team reports today in Science. Because dogs had already diversified so much by that time, "domestication had to occur long before then," Skoglund says.

Mar 9, 2010 · From a paleontological standpoint, diversification of many orders occurred over a relatively short period of time [ 1 ], which makes changes in form even more curious. One potential model for understanding the genetic basis of evolutionary change in mammalian form is the domestic dog, Canis familiaris.
