#dog-domestication

A new study has revealed that dogs began their physical transformation from wolves during the Middle Stone Age - several centuries earlier than previously thought. In the 21st century, it is difficult for many to imagine their beloved pets as wild predators, roaming free and potentially posing a threat to communities. While it was originally thought that it was the Victorians who championed domesticity for dogs through selective breeding, the new research has discovered that this transformation actually started over 10,000 years ago.
