  2. The dog diverged from a now-extinct population of wolves 27,00040,000 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.

  3. Nov 3, 2021 · Early signs of domestication date back to 33,000 years ago and unambiguously domesticated dogs are common in the archaeological record beginning 15,000 years ago. The pairing makes for a striking case in coevolution — no other species has been so thoroughly integrated into human society.

Because dogs had already diversified so much by that time, "domestication had to occur long before then," Skoglund says.

  6. Recent molecular evidence shows that dogs are descended from the gray wolf, domesticated about 130,000 years ago. But if they all share a common ancestor, why do toy poodles and Great Danes...
