      • The analysis reveals that dog domestication can be traced back 11,000 years, to the end of the last Ice Age. This confirms that dogs were domesticated before any other known species. Our canine companions were widespread across the northern hemisphere at this time, and had already split into five different types.

  2. 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.

    In 2016, a research team led by bioarchaeologist Greger Larson (Frantz et al. cited below) published mtDNA evidence for two places of origin for domestic dogs: one in Eastern Eurasia and the other in Western Eurasia. According to that analysis, ancient Asian dogs originated from a domestication event from Asian wolvesat least 12,500 years ago, and ...

    The earliest confirmed domestic dog anywhere is from a burial site in Germany called Bonn-Oberkassel, which has joint human and dog interments dated 14,000 years ago. The earliest confirmed domesticated dog in China was found in the early Neolithic (7000–5800 BCE) Jiahusite in Henan Province. Evidence for the co-existence of dogs and humans, but no...

    Some studies of dog burials dated to the Late Mesolithic-Early Neolithic Kitoi period in the Cis-Baikal region of Siberia suggest that in some cases, dogs were awarded "personhood" and treated equally to humans. A dog burial at the Shamanaka site was a male, middle-aged dog that had suffered injuries to its spine, injuries from which it recovered. ...

    Evidence for the appearance of breed variation is found in several European Upper Paleolithic sites. Medium-sized dogs (with wither heights between 45–60 cm) have been identified in Natufian sites in the Near East dated to ~15,500-11,000 cal BP). Medium to large dogs (wither heights above 60 cm) have been identified in Germany (Kniegrotte), Russia ...

    Scholars now agree that most dog breeds we see today are recent developments. However, the astounding variation in dogs is a relic of their ancient and varied domestication processes. Breeds vary in size from the one-pound (.5 kilogram) "teacup poodles" to giant mastiffs weighing more than 200 lbs (90 kg). In addition, breeds have different limb, b...

  4. Mar 3, 2013 · Thousands of years before refrigeration and with no crops to store, hunter-gatherers had no food reserves until the domestication of dogs.

  5. 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.

  6. Mar 23, 2021 · What is domestication and how did dogs become household pets? Domestication is when humans take reproductive control over another species and direct its reproduction in a certain way.

  7. Apr 16, 2015 · Dogs were the first thing humans domesticatedbefore any plant, before any other animal. Yet scientists have argued for years over where and when they arose. Some studies suggest that canines evolved in Europe, others Asia, with time frames ranging from 15,000 to more than 30,000 years ago.
