This seems really strange, I mean Native Americans had domesticated dogs, and as far as I'm aware the earliest migratory groups had dogs too, and that was at least 15000 years ago.
Surely dogs that they possessed were trained and controllable? seems a strange claim that it only dates back 8000 years.
- doingmyting 7y agoArticle said it dated back "more than 8000 years". A subtle but important distinction
- daveguy 7y agoNot the earliest evidence of domesticated dogs (eg dog bones with human bones in close proximity), but the earliest known depictions of dogs (that is generally not as durable). They're some of the earliest art of dogs and they happen to be depicted as domesticated. As opposed to an animal that was the subject of a hunt.
