Dogs Twice Domesticated
June 2, 2016 at 3:18 pm

Quote:How dogs became man’s best friend – twice over


Quote:It was widely believed dogs were tamed just once, with some experts claiming this happened in Europe and others favoring central Asia or China.
But a new story emerged when researchers used the inner ear bone from a 4,800-year-old dog unearthed in Ireland to sequence its full genome, and then compared it to both modern animals and DNA traces from 59 ancient dogs.
“Our data suggests that dogs were domesticated twice, on both sides of the Old World,” said Laurent Frantz, a geneticist at the University of Oxford, whose work was published in the journal Science.

He must be some sort of nerd cat because he can't even smooch properly!

I imagine they'll eventually find domestication happened wherever people and wild canids shared a common interest. People like puppies.

That's because cats never were domesticated.  They just deign to endure their attendants.  But yes, they reserve the right to give you a corrective bite when they feel it is warranted.  Now go rake their sand.

Good, clean my litterbox and provide me with food. After that, you might even be allowed to pet me.
