Of course they did. They came across the Strait, following Man.
As an aside, there is a strain of Asian/Chinese/Japanese(etc) that can be seen in the faces of today's 'native' Man from Southern Chile all the way up the Eskimos of Canada.
At least the article refers to the people as human immigrants instead of “native Americans.” Just because they immigrated first does not make them native.
Mark for later read.
And then about 9000 years ago, the pit bulls followed, tired of biting themselves.
Interesting.
I read something a while back that involved a study that had been performed, where they put special sensors on people that could record the motion of their eyes over time, and found that when two people meet face to face, the eyes imperceptibly look at one eye very quickly, then the other. To fast to notice. (I can’t remember which eye we look at first, but it is specific)
Then they got interested and began looking at other creatures to see if other animals did it.
None did except for one, and it wasn’t primates.
It was dogs.
They found dogs do it when they see peoples faces, and do the same imperceptible eye movements.
Speaks to the nature of the relationship between man and canines.
