DNA from an ancient ice age wolf reveals the origins of the domestic dog
A study by some geneticists and archaeologists has shown that the lineage of man's best friend, the dog, can be traced back to at least two specific populations of ancient wolves. Finally we will be able to find out how (and where) we went from the wild wolf to the domesticated dog.
