“…In conclusion, our results provide direct evidence for a longer timescale for the divergence of the dog and wolf lineages than previously assumed, and thus suggest that dogs may have originated much earlier than commonly accepted. Such an early divergence is consistent with several paleontological reports of dog-like canids up to 36,000 years old [6,9,10,14,16], as well as the evidence that domesticated dogs most likely accompanied early colonizers into the Americas [30]. However, the initial divergence between the ancestors of dogs and gray wolves would not necessarily have had to coincide with domestication in the sense of selective breeding, since this human-mediated process could have occurred later or over an extended period (B) A model of population history (admixture graph) fitted to the data.…”

“…In contrast to phylogenies based on mitochondrial markers, a phylogeny based on autosomal SNPs differed in a significant way, as it displayed distinct geographical patterns, where the most basal split separated wolves in North America from those in Eurasia . The discrepancy of this result compared to ours and to the phylogenies based on mitochondrial markers in general (Thalmann et al, 2013;Koblmüller et al, 2016) is of interest. A likely explanation is that mitochondrial lineages in wolves can be highly affected by the animal's wide dispersal as well as incomplete lineage sorting, which has to be considered when results from these different methods are compared (Funk and Omland, 2003;Toews and Brelsford, 2012).…”

“…All the posterior probabilities of the main internodes were > 0.81, except for node 2 (P = 0.54) and node 6 (P = 0.53). Consistently with Thalmann et al [56] the ancient wolf-like specimens from Belgium (B30k) and Russia (R18k) were the most basal haplotypes in the tree (node 1 and 2. The extant wolf haplotypes split into the two clades A and B 45 400 years ago (node 3).…”
