Discovery of the World's Oldest Pet Dog - 20,000 Years Old

The article titled "World's Oldest Pet Dog? Remains of a Domesticated Canine That 'Lived Alongside Humans' Up To 20,000 Years Ago Are Unearthed in Italy" was written by Joe Pinkstone and focuses on an amazing discovery found in Italy.


Dr. Francesco Boschin led a part of the research, which was published in August in Scientific Reports. He described the early canine remains found at two paleolithic caves in Southern Italy. "From an archaeological point of view, the oldest remains of domesticated dogs were found in Central Europe and date back 16,000 years," Dr. Boschin said.



"[They] could also represent the until now missing evidence of the evolutionary process that led to the dog, the very first domesticated animal," Dr. Boschin also included.
