First dogs in the Americas arrived from Siberia, disappeared after European contact

By comparing genomic signatures from 71 mitochondrial and seven nuclear genomes of ancient North American and Siberian dogs spanning a period of 9,000 years, the research team was able to gain a clearer picture of the history of the first canine inhabitants of the Americas. The oldest dog remains in the Americas date to about 9,000 years ago... These dogs persisted for thousands of years in the Americas, but almost completely vanished after European contact, the researchers found... The team also discovered that the genomic signature of a transmissible cancer that afflicts dogs appears to be one of the last "living" remnants of the genetic heritage of dogs that populated the Americas prior to European contact. "This suggests that this tumor originated in or near the Americas," Witt said.

Your every post in a GGG topic confirms the fact that you are a troll.

So the Europeans had dog for dinner?...

Yep!

It says nothing about dogs being eaten. Perhaps, this was a joke. But, wasn’t sure.

It does say the dogs died from cancer (and I see the tumor originated in the Americas).

Wolves???

After reading the angry comments - I just wanted to thank you for your articles. They prompt me to research facts about nature and science - which I didn’t know or had forgotten.

Thank you SC

Thanks for the kind remarks.

This sounds like a lot of leftist fur balls to me.

The dire wolf was the heaviest canine known to have existed, and was still around at least as recently as 7500 BC, meaning it coexisted with PreColumbian humans. The dire wasn't an awful lot larger than the largest gray wolf of today, so it probably wasn't significantly more of a threat -- nevertheless, still dangerous. There's actually some researcher (or perhaps more than one) who wants to revive the species using surviving intact DNA. I consider that to be not that great an idea.

Troll.

Your inability to do anything but troll makes you a troll.

You say that because you’re a troll.

Interesting. Although that was based on one skull in a different time period and researched by different people and lab from the article posted in the thread. .

Beat me to it....t’wasn’t a tumor, dogs were what’s for dinner.
