Dog dog history history is really the history of the partnership between dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), and humans. That partnership is based on human needs for help with herding and hunting, an early Alarm System, and a source of food in addition to the many of us today know companionship and love. Dogs get companionship, protection and shelter,A reliable source and food out of the deal.But first occurred when this partnership is at the moment under some controversy.
Dog history has recently been studied using mitochondrial DNA, which suggests that wolves and dogs split into different species around 100,000 years ago; but whether humans had anything to do with that, no one really knows.Recent mtDNA analysis (Boyko et al.,suggests that the origin and location of dog domestication, long thought to be in East Asia, is in some doubt.
Dog History and Archaeological Data The oldest dog skull discovered to date is from Goyet Cave, Belgium.The Goyet cave collections (the site was excavated in the mid- 19 th century) were recently examined (Germonpre and colleagues,cited below), and a fossil canid skull was discovered among them. Although there is some confusion as to which level the skull came from, it has been direct-dated by AMS at 31,700 BP.The skull most closely represents prehistoric dogs, rather than wolves. The Goyet study examining the cave also identified what appears to be prehistoric dogs at Chauvet Cave ( ~26,000 bp), and in the Mezhirich Ukraine (CA 15,000 years BP), among others.
