  • Domestication of Dogs. Dogs were domesticated by the lure of an easy meal. While humans were still hunter-gatherers following herds, canine ancestors were drawn to their camps by the smell of food and followed to scavenge leftovers. When humans realized they would bark when predators were near, they began to feed them willingly.

Dogs most probably evolved from wolves at a single location about 20,000 to 40,000 years ago, a study suggests.

By looking at the rates of change to the DNA from the oldest specimen, scientists were able to place the timing of the domestication of Dogs to between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago.
