History of Dog in Timeline
The dog, Canis lupus familiaris, is a domesticated descendant of wolves. Selectively bred by hunter-gatherers in the Late Pleistocene, it is the first domesticated species, predating agriculture. Genetic studies suggest domestication began over 25,000 years ago. Dogs share ancestry with modern gray wolves. A key adaptation from domestication is their ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet, a trait less suitable for other canids.
