Controversies of Origin of Domestic Dog - II - References of Fossil Dogs
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Abstract:The dog family or Canidae is a group of carnivore mammals in which the dog, Canis familiaris, is the only member to have been domesticated, although the red fox and the raccoon from time to time have been bred for their fur. The origin of the dog is always a popular argument subject because of place and time of domestication. To solve this question there are plenty analysis not only in modern breeds, but also ancient dog remains. First the Middle East was suggested as an origin of dog based on archaeological remains. Later than regions of Europe and Southeast Asia were also proposed as candidates of origin place. It is sure that there will be unearthed much more archaeological canid remains, which will ease the solution or not. It seems to be that those debates will continue for a while until whole or at least majority of scientists are gathered around a round table and get consensus.
