Did you read the article? The majority of native Americans from the point of contact until the late 1600s died of diseases brought around from the Old World. This would be true for dogs as well.
It's got nothing to do with "white men" - the Europeans are just the western peninsula of Eurasia and have been germ-wise in contact with germs from as far away as China ever since the Mongol Empire
Wholeheartedly agree.
So these germs were just random and fell all over the place or did the dogs eat something the Europeans left behind and what about the fact dogs are generally immune to human germs?
I dunno. Something doesn’t sound right to me. Contrived. A study without the right results and not backed up with method.
I could have left out the “leftist” part of the “leftist fur balls” comment but I like to poke them every chance I get. Plus it was a play on the dog article with a cat reference. I shouldn’t have to explain all this but one never knows these days and it isn’t uncommon for some people to read something entirely different than was intended by the writer.
Okay, I just did a search on this subject, and it does look like other sites and studies support the replacement of indigenous dogs with the European variety. I still don’t get how this happened; only that it happened - probably over a long period of time.
