There are five prehistoric lineages and all dogs are various mixes plus subsequent variants. Most of the dogs we know are descended from the lineage in NW Russia, Karelia, Estonia and a lineage from the Levant, mixed. New World dogs were descended from that NW Russian lineage as well, though mixed with some East Asian. Like the humans, who also had a population across the top of Asia that had mixed with ancient East Asian groups and were the ancestors of Native American tribes. The dogs from the Levant are the ancestors of African dogs as well. The dingoes are the most separated branch. <br /><br />If you are into this, I recommend that podcast. I always enjoy hearing Bergstrom say "yenetics."Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-84338189892691522442021-02-28T23:55:47.540-05:002021-02-28T23:55:47.540-05:00They do DNA analysis for dogs now.

I wonder if anyone has done any trans-Pacific work on dingos yet to see where their origins may lie?Aggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089648434324058300noreply@blogger.com
