Paleolithic Dogs

[ChrisJones 7,975]

A new look at an old find has revealed that humans bonded emotionally with their dogs much earlier than we thought. A PhD candidate and a vet, at Leiden University, have studied human and canine bones found from a grave discovered in 1914.

Recent studies have shown the remains to be around 14,000 years old but the reveal that humans bonded with dogs was from the study of the dog's teeth. The degraded material from the teeth has shown that the dog suffered from a form of distemper and that it must have been contracted as a pup, yet the dog had lived until 7-8 months showing that despite the fact it couldn't function as a hunter they'd cared for it for a considerable length of time. Death from distemper is three weeks at the most, without adequate care.

There was nothing listed in the study as to whether the dog or the people were black so I'm sure this thread won't go beyond a couple of posts.

How do they know.it's just some scientist with an agenda's opinion.

No evidence of being treated by a vet ?

The same way they know you'd never get elected. Observable and testable data.

The bones are 14,000 years old. I'm not sure if they've analyzed the human remains to hypothesise the dead man's occupation.

Is that a euphemism for Eastbourne?

Only the ones who cared for the dogs and who’s dogs lived were black, they did it while they carved Cellos from raw diamonds and composed classical chamber music or while painting a master piece or writing literature.

All the white blokes were licking walls, not able to dance a step and their dogs died en masse !!

Alot of must haves an assumptions in there chris, not alot of facts mate?

[Francie 6,368]

So was it just the dogs teeth they found, nothing else mate?

[hily 380]

VETS BILL and signs that the bloke topped him self.

[Francie 6,368]

So just for the craic chris, what do you expect dogs to evolve into?

Will they stay the same, four legs, sharp teeth etc or will they evolve into different "species" and why mate?

Another question, what did wolves evolve from?was it also a "prehistoric canine?lol

Or else the owner was a cruel Cnut and filed down the dogs teeth when he was bored. I wouldn't be surprised if the next scientific fact states that earth is actually flat.

The trick to discovering new things is to read it in its entirety.
