Research explains that this dog breed originated in Africa due to cave paintings that were found in Libya, and dates as far back as 6,000 BC. They were used for tracking and hunting prey for food.]]> 2020-11-13 22:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/v9c6dvwddkfp8pvj/wish/922030640 cchambers564 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/v9c6dvwddkfp8pvj/wish/929435124 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.]]> 2020-11-16 21:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/v9c6dvwddkfp8pvj/wish/929435124 cchambers564 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/v9c6dvwddkfp8pvj/wish/929465787 Like said before, we don't fully know when we first domesticated dogs. There are many holes within history that scientists and researchers are still trying to figure out. However, there is a confirmed case of dog domestication in Germany around 14,000 years ago. In a burial site located in Germany known as Bonn-Oberkassel, remains of both a human and a dog were found next to oneanother (combined).]]> 2020-11-16 22:00:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/v9c6dvwddkfp8pvj/wish/929465787 cchambers564 https://padlet.com/tahomasd1/v9c6dvwddkfp8pvj/wish/934508153 10,000 years ago, dogs supposedly had the purpose of tracking prey. However, since the Agricultural Revolution was starting to take place during this time period, dogs were able to me humanly bred to herd livestock and protect agricultural animals like pigs and cows.
