All of my term papers in those classes were focused on dogs. But doing that, looking for dogs that live around humans, you can also study all of those subjects equally with dogs. And just I found so much information. It was overwhelming.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, a lot of digs. You can find specific sites that have dogs at it. But what really intrigued me was reading old ethnographies from either the French or the Spanish or the English when they got here. Or just the Bureau of Ethnology went out in the early 1900s just documenting whatever was left of indigenous cultures. And there's a wealth of information in there because...

Without the horse or cows or, you know, any other animals, the dog was crucial to life for Indigenous Americans here. And just so much. And every culture kind of has dogs or something that they do, or at least they live there.

Debated topic. Very debated. Let's break it down. But I would say humans leave Africa, we get to Eurasia, specifically Siberia, and you're interacting with wolves who are an equally social and intelligent predator. So you're going to be running into each other. They both hunt caribou a lot, especially in that area.

And I would say that whole time, like the domestication process is happening. But we can see like the dog as we genetically know it today appears 20,000 years ago in East Asia, Siberia.

I guess two answers to that. In that East Asia, Siberia area where people are... you know, domesticating dogs, or you could say wolves are self-domesticating around hominid camps. People then go to the Americas, either across the land bridge or down the coast, whatever theory you subscribe to.

And that's how dogs ended up in the Americas and the only like domestic animal there until turkeys and llamas later. But the rest of the world, you can see dogs are traded kind of like a commodity and you can see dog genetic lines being traded across Eurasia into Africa.
