A dogged investigation of domestication The history of how wolves became our pampered pooches of today has remained controversial. Frantz et al. describe high-coverage sequencing of the genome of an Irish dog from the Bronze Age as well as ancient dog mitochondrial DNA sequences. Comparing ancient dogs to a modern worldwide panel of dogs shows an old, deep split between East Asian and Western Eurasian dogs. Thus, dogs were domesticated from two separate wolf populations on either side of the…

Origins and genetic legacy of prehistoric dogs
TLDR
It is found that all dogs share a common ancestry distinct from present-day wolves, with limited gene flow from wolves since domestication but substantial dog-to-wolf gene flow.
Ancient European dog genomes reveal continuity since the Early Neolithic
TLDR
Both dogs demonstrate continuity with each other and predominantly share ancestry with modern European dogs, contradicting a previously suggested Late Neolithic population replacement and finding no genetic evidence to support the recent hypothesis proposing dual origins of dog domestication.
Ancient European dog genomes reveal continuity since the Early Neolithic
TLDR
The genomes of an Early and End Neolithic dog from Germany demonstrate continuity with each other and predominantly share ancestry with modern European dogs, contradicting a previously suggested Late Neolithic population replacement.
Ancient DNA evidence from China reveals the expansion of Pacific dogs.
TLDR
It is proposed that A1b lineage dogs were once widely distributed in the YYRB area, and were largely replaced by dogs belonging to other lineages in the last 2,000 years in present-day China, especially North China.
Paleogenomic Inferences of Dog Domestication
Domestication is the result of a complex interplay of both biological and cultural processes. The mechanism underlying today’s variety of domesticates has long sparked the interest of researchers but…
Dog domestication and the dual dispersal of people and dogs into the Americas
TLDR
Comparing population genetic results of humans and dogs from Siberia, Beringia, and North America shows that there is a close correlation in the movement and divergences of their respective lineages, and suggests that dogs were domesticated in Siberia by ∼23,000 y ago, possibly while both people and wolves were isolated during the harsh climate of the Last Glacial Maximum.
Neolithic animal domestication as seen from ancient DNA
TLDR
The potential of ancient DNA data gained from traditional and high-throughput sequencing technologies, and how they contribute to present and future domestication research are outlined.
The evolutionary history of dogs in the Americas
TLDR
The analysis indicates that American dogs were not derived from North American wolves but likely originated from a Siberian ancestor, and form a monophyletic lineage that likely originated in Siberia and dispersed into the Americas alongside people.
Deciphering the Origin of Dogs: From Fossils to Genomes.
TLDR
Greater insight into the domestication process will require explicit tests of alternative models of domestication through the joint analysis of whole genomes from modern lineages and ancient wolves and dogs from across Eurasia.
Modern Siberian dog ancestry was shaped by several thousand years of Eurasian-wide trade and human dispersal
TLDR
The analysis of 49 ancient dog genomes reveals that the ancestry of Arctic Siberia dogs shifted over the last 2,000 years due to an influx of dogs from the Eurasian Steppe and Europe, which resulted in substantial admixture in the Iamal-Nenets region.

Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Ancient Canids Suggest a European Origin of Domestic Dogs
TLDR
The findings imply that domestic dogs are the culmination of a process that initiated with European hunter-gatherers and the canids with whom they interacted, and molecular dating suggests an onset of domestication there 18,800 to 32,100 years ago.
Mitochondrial DNA from prehistoric canids highlights relationships between dogs and South-East European wolves.
TLDR
A-DNA support for the involvement of European wolves in the origins of the three major dog clades is provided and genetic data suggest multiple independent domestication events.
Ancient Wolf Genome Reveals an Early Divergence of Domestic Dog Ancestors and Admixture into High-Latitude Breeds
TLDR
The directly dated ancient wolf genome is used to recalibrate the molecular timescale of wolves and dogs and finds that the mutation rate is substantially slower than assumed by most previous studies, suggesting that the ancestors of dogs were separated from present-day wolves before the Last Glacial Maximum.
Ancient DNA supports lineage replacement in European dog gene pool: insight into Neolithic southeast France
TLDR
Palaeogenetic analysis of domesticated dog remains excavated from three archaeological sites from southeast France and dating from Middle Neolithic supports the proposition that palaeogenetics studies are essential for the reconstruction of the past demographic history and the domestication process of dogs.
Rethinking dog domestication by integrating genetics, archeology, and biogeography
TLDR
The results demonstrate that the unifying characteristic among all genetically distinct so-called ancient breeds is a lack of recent admixture with other breeds likely facilitated by geographic and cultural isolation, suggesting that studies of modern breeds have yet to shed light on dog origins.
Genome Sequencing Highlights the Dynamic Early History of Dogs
TLDR
It is found that none of the extant wolf lineages from putative domestication centers is more closely related to dogs, and, instead, the sampled wolves form a sister monophyletic clade, suggesting that a re-evaluation of past hypotheses regarding dog origins is necessary.
Worldwide patterns of genomic variation and admixture in gray wolves.
TLDR
No single wolf population is more closely related to dogs, supporting the hypothesis that dogs were derived from an extinct wolf population, and extensive admixture between dogs and wolves is found, with up to 25% of Eurasian wolf genomes showing signs of dog ancestry.
Comprehensive study of mtDNA among Southwest Asian dogs contradicts independent domestication of wolf, but implies dog–wolf hybridization
Studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity indicate explicitly that dogs were domesticated, probably exclusively, in southern East Asia. However, Southwest Asia (SwAsia) has had poor…
Genetic Evidence for an East Asian Origin of Domestic Dogs
TLDR
A larger genetic variation in East Asia than in other regions and the pattern of phylogeographic variation suggest an East Asian origin for the domestic dog, ∼15,000 years ago.
Genetic structure in village dogs reveals a Central Asian domestication origin
TLDR
Strong evidence is found that dogs were domesticated in Central Asia, perhaps near present-day Nepal and Mongolia, and populations exhibit a clear gradient of short-range linkage disequilibrium consistent with a Central Asian domestication origin.
