Researchers have unearthed evidence suggesting that humans and dogs cohabitated in Alaska around 10,000 BC, much earlier than previously believed, indicating domestication.
The remains of a 12,000-year-old canine unearthed at Swan Point, Alaska, show that Indigenous Alaskans formed bonds with dogs much earlier than past studies indicated.
This new research underscores the deeper connections between humans and canines in the Americas, as early as 10,000 BC, suggesting that these relationships influenced human migration.
'We now have evidence that canids and people had close relationships earlier than we knew they did in the Americas,' said lead researcher François Lanoë.
