| a 33,000-year-old incipient dog from the altai mountains of siberia: evidence of the earliest domestication disrupted by the last glacial maximum. | virtually all well-documented remains of early domestic dog (canis familiaris) come from the late glacial and early holocene periods (ca. 14,000-9000 calendar years ago, cal bp), with few putative dogs found prior to the last glacial maximum (lgm, ca. 26,500-19,000 cal bp). the dearth of pre-lgm dog-like canids and incomplete state of their preservation has until now prevented an understanding of the morphological features of transitional forms between wild wolves and domesticated dogs in tempor ... | 2011 | 21829526 |
