Dec 26, 2018 · The domestication of dogs likely occurred in Eurasia by 16,000 years ago, and the initial peopling of the Americas potentially happened around the same time. Dogs were long thought to have accompanied the first migrations into the Americas, but conclusive evidence for Paleoindian dogs is lacking.

The domestication of the dog was the process which led to the domestic dog. This included the dog's genetic divergence from the wolf, its domestication, and the emergence of the first dogs. Genetic studies suggest that all ancient and modern dogs share a common ancestry and descended from an ancient, now-extinct wolf population – or closely ...
Jul 6, 2018 · The first appearance of dogs in the North American archaeological record occurred ~4500 years after the earliest evidence of human activity on the continent ( 4, 11 ). In addition, our molecular clock analysis indicates that the PCD lineage appeared ~6500 years after North American human lineages ( Fig. 1B) ( 10 ).

Feb 24, 2021 · Dogs were domesticated at least 27,000 years ago, and they have been tagging along with humans ever since. Now, we may have the strongest evidence yet that early dogs even accompanied the first ...
Jul 7, 2018 · Dogs were present in the Americas prior to the arrival of European colonists, but the origin and fate of these pre-contact dogs are largely unknown. We sequenced 71 mitochondrial and seven nuclear genomes from ancient North American and Siberian dogs spanning ~9,000 years. Our analysis indicates that American dogs were not domesticated from ...
