15, 000 Years Ago: Dog Study
On October 19 2015 James Gorman wrote an article named 15,000 years Ago, probably in Asia, the dog was born. Where do dogs come from? He believed that grey wolves were the closest ancestors to dogs. And that the dogs could be traced back to the continent of Europe. Even though they can be traced back to Europe, Central Asia is the best place to do a large dog study. Cornell university took street,village and breaded dogs from 38 countries to test there DNA. She analyzed three different kinds of DNAS. He believed that Mongolia and Nepal is where ''all the dogs alive today''. Oxford university studies the bones from old fossils and he was impressed. People were afraid of the accuracy though because they said the dogs could of been from some

    “A lot of them turned out to be very ordinary animals in their natural habitats,” Sykes says. As the team reports July 1 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, supposed yeti and bigfoot samples turned out to come from bears (brown, black and polar), horses, raccoons, one human, some canines (the test didn’t narrow down if they were wolves or dogs), cows, sheep, a North American porcupine, a Malaysian tapir and a serow, which is a known animal similar to a goat or antelope.…

    Denisovan Genome Decoded

    Until recently, most scientists thought that there were only two species of humans (i.e., modern humans and Neanderthals) living in Eurasia in the Upper Palaeolithic (50 – 10 thousand years ago). However, over the past decade several finds have indicated that there were several more. Svante Paabo and his colleagues at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Evolutionary Anthropology have revealed further proof of this fact with genetics. They sequenced the genome from the bones of an individual that had been found in Denisova Cave in southern Siberia. The results indicated that the individual was not a modern human or a Neanderthal. The new species has been named Denisovans. Together with Neanderthals, Denisovans are the closest extinct relatives of modern humans. It is likely that all three species knew of each others existence and may have even lived together in what is today Siberia. Future genomic comparative studies should help scientists uncover important genetic differences that contributed to the development of modern human culture and technology.…

    Growing up is one of life’s greatest adventures with no definite time span. Finding individual identity is a never ending journey, but discoveries are made along the way. The characters in Linda Sue Park’s A Single Shard and Grace Lin’s The Year of the Dog explore the world around them and find themselves in the process. The contrasting characters come from different time periods, family dynamics, ethnic backgrounds, and socioeconomic status, but they share a common objective; searching for their purpose in life and discovering their personal identity along the way.…

    Grey Wolf Research Paper

    Usually this male and female are the only animals of the pack to breed. All of a pack's adults help to care for young In 1993, a study of the wolf-like canids found that there was a close kinship between domestic dogs, gray wolves, coyotes and Simien jackals but with a distance from the African wild dog and from the golden, side-striped and black-backed jackals. The domestic dog was an extremely close relative of the gray wolf, differing from it by at most 0.2% of the maternal mitochondrial Cytochrome b gene marker. In comparison, the gray wolf differs from its closest wild relative, the coyote, by about 4%. Therefore, the study concluded that the molecular genetic evidence did not support theories that dogs arose from jackal ancestors. The study proposed the hypothesis that because of the diversity of dog remains found in archaeological sites, that dogs may be derived from several different ancestral gray wolf populations. Later that year, the domestic dog Canis familiar is was reclassified as Canis lupus familiar is, a subspecies of Canis lupus in Mammal Species of the World.[26][76]pups by bringing them food and watching In 1999, a review of the scientific literature regarding the genetic origin of the dog proposed a number of hypotheses. The molecular data indicated that dogs have protein alleles in common with wolves, share highly polymorphic…

    Here’s a little history on the American Pit Bull Terrior, dating back to late seventeen hundreds, the Pit Bull Terriors were used for bull baiting, hunting, and as family companions. When used as baiting dogs they were trained to latch on to the heads of bulls, bears, and other large animals. This was banned in the early eighteen hundreds and ever since then the notorious dog fighting had begun. Now, dog fighting has been banned and is a felony offense in all fifty states. Many dog breeds have been used for hunting and fighting, and are still used as family dogs today. For example, retrievers, pointers, spaniels, bulldogs and many more. These breeds were created…

    Dogs’ are commonly thought of as a man’s best friend, akin to how Lennie is George’s best friend. Numerous times throughout the novel Of Mice and Men, a dog is used to foreshadow Lennie’s fate, thus Lennie is compared to a dog, “I want you to stay with me, Lennie. Jesus Christ, somebody'd shoot you for a coyote if you was by yourself.(12)” Lennie, a mentally disabled man, relies on George for survival from himself. Lennie’s instinctive actions, much like a dog, require a master, in this case George, to guide him from penalties, in severe cases death; also reinforcing the theme of loneliness vs. companionship. Candy’s dog, like Lennie in a way, is no good for himself, so Carlson continues to tell Candy, “"They way I'd shoot him, he wouldn't…

    “Wolves are the dogs that stayed behind.” The world is a cruel place. A thing that can be treasured in one instance can be a threat in the next. For many people, we stare at the natural world and see its rugged beauty and wish that we could captivate it for ourselves. The case is no different for our modern dogs. Bred from the “empty canvas” of a wolf, we’ve modified, altered, formed, transformed, reformed, and remodified wolves to be one of the closest companions we have still today: dogs. But through all of our perfecting and reshaping that we’ve done to our best friends’ closest ancestors, wolves have prevailed, echoing their famous legacy still throughout the world. Wolves, now in danger of extinction, are one of the greatest controversies…

    The comedy-drama film “Year of the Dog” is indeed an inspirational one to me. It introduced the main character name Peggy Spade who is an average office assistant that has a difficult time fitting in with others around her. Peggy’s quirky personality made her bond more with her dog Pencil, resulting in the lack of her social life. This film depicts how the lost of Peggy’s dog led to her discovery of her own vocation on being an animal activist and opens up opportunities of romance as a replacement of her lose. Watching “Year of the Dog” made me reflect upon myself in areas such as my intellect, sensibility, and my deep conscience that helped me learned more about myself throughout the movie.…

    The Paleolithic Era, also known as the “old stone age” was a time where humans foraged hunted wild animals or gathered edible portions of wild plants. Nothing was stored because people were always on the move. they couldn’t take the extra weight. The Neolithic Era or the “new stone age” refers to a period of time where humans began refining their tools for use on domesticated plants and animals. It was during this time that people began to store dry or wet things in pottery due to the surplus of food that had to be stored. The beginning of the Neolithic Era was the Transition to Agriculture. Neolithic peoples wanted to secure themselves a more stable lifestyle with a sure income of food. Women of this time began to nurture plants and men began…
