Humans may have tamed wolves twice because dogs are worth it….?? From destroying Wolf DNA through Interbreeding?

Another Fine Example of Humans messing with Animals is all of the interbreeding they have done on Dogs.(Originally Wolves) I have to wonder why humans think that destroying Animal DNA by interbreeding is ok?

For years, scientists have debated whether dogs were domesticated in Europe or Asia. Turns out both camps might’ve been right.

Modern dog DNA is so messy from interbreeding, it’s been hard to tease out an answer.

Some studies point to Europe as the origin, others point to Asia, and some split the difference and say that dogs originated in Central Asia and spread to the east and west.

Now an international research team has compared DNA from ancient dog bones around the world, and the researchers say the results point to two domestications: one in Europe and a big one in East Asia that later moved west.

If that’s true, it could help make sense of the confusing genetics. Take two different populations of dogs and breed them together, along with some more interbreeding with wolves along the way, and things are bound to get messy.

It’s a pretty convoluted genetic history, but — the things people do for their dogs.
