Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Dogs first domesticated in Europe, study
says.
Were dogs and wolves from the same origins?
Did humans domesticate wild wolves? When and where did the four-legged animal
become our one of the closest friend?
Scientists have been digging holes and
analyzing DNAs of the fossils of this popular pet to answer these questions. It
had been widely thought that they were first domesticated in the Middle East or
China at the time those ancient people started farming. Now this new study says
dogs seem to have become friends with hunter-gatherers in Europe long before
they did in other places.
Enjoy reading and learning how our
relationships with dogs have been developed and evolved.
