5 Finds that prove Furbabies are our Oldest Friends

Did you know the first dog was likely domesticated over 19,000 years ago? <a href="https://www.sapiens.org/archaeology/domestication-dogs/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Genetic studies</a> tell us that wild and domesticated dogs began to separate at this point, but those studies can only tell us a date. It doesn’t tell us how we lived with our furry companions or the roles that they played in our lives. For that evidence, we have to look a little closer in time. So when did we begin to have companionable relationships with our furry friends? Solid archaeological evidence that demonstrates a mutual loving relationship between dogs/cats and humans dates to at least 15,000 years ago, when dogs were buried alongside their owners. There is no single origin point for this behavior — rather, it occurs at many places, at many roughly similar points in time, and new evidence is being found each year. But recently, I became curious: what evidence have we found so far and what does it say about our furry friends’ role? <a href="https://historymuse.medium.com/5-finds-that-prove-furbabies-are-our-oldest-friends-4596c2752b56">Visit Now</a>
