DOMESTICATION OF DOGS.

EUROPEAN WOLF?

• From testing DNA it is said dogs most likely descended from a European wolf.
• This specific European wolf is also said to be completely extinct at this point in time.
• This wolf was only able to leave behind no descendants but no other than dogs.
• These European wolves soon started following bands of humans.
• These wolves stayed near eating any scraps left behind from these hunters.

SOON WELCOMED

• Dogs soon had no issues with people.
• Not only this but it's said they also protected the people and helped find prey.
• Soon the popularity for dogs spread all over Europe as they were finally domesticated.

TRAITS

• Until recently it was predicted that dogs were domesticated near early man.
• It is now between 18k-32k yrs ago from a burial sight found in Israel.
• This burial sight contained a elder man skeleton cradling a puppy.
• It is still unsure the positive ancestor of dogs because of breeding.
• Breeding occurs for dogs to receive special traits.

CONCLUSION

• It is most likely that dogs came somewhere in Europe or Asia.
• One descending from extinct wolves and several extinct from Asia.
• Most research says dogs were domesticated maybe around 13,000 years ago.
• From the burial sight in Israel it also proves we always had a strong bond with them.
• More DNA of modern, ancient, and wolves are always being tested but for now this is all we know.
