Oldest dog remains in America discovered

[FfFfFfFF 58,129]

For about 20 years, specimen PP-00128 in the earth sciences collection of the University of Alaska Museum was thought to belong to a rather old bear.  [...]

Recent genetic testing of the sample, however, proved to be a surprise to scientists—but perhaps not dog owners: PP-00128 once belonged to a loyal canine companion who trotted alongside humans into the icy new world of the Americas around 10,150 years ago.

The analysis of the oldest domesticated dog remains yet discovered in the Americas, published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, not only provides important clues to when dogs first entered the Americas, and the routes they took alongside humans to get here, but it also reinforces the very long and deep bond between people and domesticated dogs.

“Even if you can’t imagine anything about the life of people 10,000 years ago, you can still understand the relationship between people and their dogs,” says Carly Ameen, a zooarchaeologist at the University of Exeter who wasn’t involved with the new work.
