Man's best friend for 33,000 years

An article recently published in a scientific journal describing the remains of a domesticated dog from more than 33,000 years ago. According to the Fox News article linked to above, the remains of this domestic dog cannot be traced to modern domestic dogs, probably due to extinction during the last ice age. This may indicate that dogs domesticated themselves multiple times throughout human history. Pretty interesting!

Hey! THat's not what the article says! "[...]the two skulls indicate that the domestication of dogs by humans occurred repeatedly throughout early human history at different geographic locations -- rather than at a single domestication event, as previously believed."
LOL :P ~
