38000- 18000 BC - Some of the First Domestication of Dogs

# data[].attributes.body
We will never know exactly when humans first domesticated dogs, However, according to researchers from Stony Brook University of New York, it has been discovered through archaeological sites in Germany and Ireland that an estimate from 20,000 to 40,000 years ago, this is when dogs were first domesticated. The ancient canines found at these sites are relating to modern day European dog breeds (this was found through their DNA). It is predicted that humans had created a symbiotic relationship with Gray Wolves (a species diverged from a now-extinct wolf species) from the outskirts, which would slowly overtime lead to the domestication of dogs.
