Determining the antiquity of dog origins : canine domestication as a model for the consilience between molecular genetics and archaeology /

Archaeologists have favored a date of 14,000-15,000 years before present (BP) for canine domestication. However, recent studies of mutations in the mitochondrial DNA sequence by molecular geneticists have implied that dogs were domesticated over 100,000 years ago, which has challenged traditional th...
