Domestication of the dog. The dog diverged from a now-extinct population of wolves 27,000–40,000 years ago immediately before the Last Glacial Maximum, [1] [2] when much of the mammoth steppe was cold and dry. The domestication of the dog was the process which led to the domestic dog. This included the dog's genetic divergence from the wolf ...
