Another “scientific” study that has a finding that is almost all conjecture, based on coincidental fossil evidence.
Is it possible? Sure. Can it be proved? No. Can it be disproved? No. Perfect grant trap.
Given that dogs interbreed, they are not classically different species, but more accurately different breeds with selective mating habits. It is hard to fathom that 30+ differentiations would not interbreed over time, effectively decreasing the number of distinct groups.
That is a very good point.
