A new study of ancient dog DNA shows that people and dogs traveled together across Eurasia for at least 10,000 years.

Analyses of fossils and ancient genomics reveal how early human populations bred less wolf-like companions, and might have ...

Recent analysis of ancient DNA has unveiled a profound bond between humans and dogs, tracing back at least 10,000 years. This partnership is evident in the shared migratory patterns across Eurasia, ...

Researchers sequenced and analyzed the genomes of 17 ancient dogs from Siberia, East Asia, and the Central Asian Steppe. Moreover, the analysis covered a large stretch of time, with specimens between ...

Two new studies suggest the story of dogs and their relationship with humans is older and more complex than once thought.

Both the Northeast Asian ancestry in Chinese dogs and the Western ancestry in steppe dogs mirror human migrations. Neolithic steppe dogs can be traced to Eastern European hunter-gatherers, while the ...

New research shows dogs traveled with humans for 11,000 years, revealing early diversity and deep ties between the species.

As human groups migrated and settled across Holocene Eurasia, dogs often traveled with them, researchers report in a new genomic study – and sometimes dogs were traded among populations. The study ...

Dogs have been part of human societies across Eurasia for at least 20,000 years, accompanying us through many social and ...

A surprising diversity of dog shapes and sizes evolved long before the Victorians began making modern breeds Modern dog breeds come in a mind-boggling array of shapes and sizes—from Chihuahua to Great ...

As human groups migrated and settled across Holocene Eurasia, dogs often traveled with them, researchers report in a new genomic study – and sometimes ...

A genomic study shows that over the last 10,000 years, diverse Eurasian cultures kept and spread genetically distinct dog populations.
