American indians had dogs too. Pretty sure those dogs did not originate in Europe 15,000 years ago.
And they don’t use deodorant or shave under their arms...
Well of course. My Great Pyrennes are among the closest breeds to wolves, among others.
Man has created so many different looking dogs. A lhasa apso looks nothing like a greyhound. A Dachsund has no resemblance to a Pomeranian. All these dog breeds have evolved from one source..wolves! Just imagine if man could create such variety in 30,000 years or less, what can nature do in 1,000,000,000,000 years since origin of life on earth. No wonder there are Billions of different species on earth.
Related to, and evolved from, are two different things.
Dogs did NOT evolve from wolves....that is ignorant.
There are still wolves. smh.
God created man, then realized He made a mistake, so He made dog.
A good idea, dogs, has many parents.
As a creationist, I believe that all species (not breeds) of animal were present in Eden, and subsequently in the ark. I believe that, while the curse of sin made many if not most animals either hostile toward, or fearful of man, God in His mercy allowed several species to remain tame or tameable.
Therefore, I believe that all domestic dog breeds are descended from, frankly, Noah’s pets, and walked off the ark at his side. Ditto cats.
Somebody reading this is going to laugh. Whoever you are, I pity you, and hope you answer His call before it’s too late.
