Did Carolina Dogs Arrive With Ancient Americans?

By comparing genomic signatures from 71 mitochondrial and seven nuclear genomes of ancient North American and Siberian dogs spanning a period of 9,000 years, the research team was able to gain a clearer picture of the history of the first canine inhabitants of the Americas. The oldest dog remains in the Americas date to about 9,000 years ago... These dogs persisted for thousands of years in the Americas, but almost completely vanished after European contact, the researchers found... The team also discovered that the genomic signature of a transmissible cancer that afflicts dogs appears to be one of the last "living" remnants of the genetic heritage of dogs that populated the Americas prior to European contact. "This suggests that this tumor originated in or near the Americas," Witt said.

So the Europeans had dog for dinner?...
Eeewwww...
They were doing fine. . . until the White Man came.
It appears that disease took both indians and their dogs after european—and african contact.
Great books on this subect are 1491 and 1493.
My dog is Native American...born right here in my backyard. I’m a witness. He’s a Dreamer too...not well trained.
“Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492!”
The article is saying the Europeans brought over a dog cancer.

Interesting. The Europeans brought dogs with them, and obviously the native dog population, for one reason or another, was already on the downhill slide. I’m not sure what the domesticated dog population in the northern Americas was like pre European, but I’d imagine it was heavily wolf.
In the south, chihuahuas are actually a very ancient breed, but the originals don’t look like those trembling little “handbag dogs.” The original Chihuahuas had sort of long hair and floppy ears and were about the size of a small spaniel.
so there was Russian collusion eons ago?

Nothing about the cancer until the next sentence. At least, that's how I read it.

More bovine excrement for our biscuits!

Yes, and as always, your post is in that category.
No, it is saying the opposite.
I stopped reading the instant I became aware that this was just another fabricated hatchet job about "Evil White People".
I was an honoured guest and they gave me a treat. Boiled dog. Dog ain't bad, neither. Greasy, I'll admit, but you'd be surprised how delicate the flavour is, especially when you're starving.

Why do you post all these harebrained scams?
