A serious article. There being no eurasian race, the term itself rather recent historically, a couple hundred years, not sure how it's racist. I'm fairly certain there weren't "eurasians" 12,500 years ago. Still, what does Shortly after the Eurasian people worked so hard to train and bond with wolves, most of them were shipped off and given to Europeans. "Eurasians" shipping trained wolves to whites 12,500 years ago. Doubt it. The wolves would have eaten the camels.
I wondered how far back they would take this racism thing. There you go — all the way back to the dawn of time.
My dog is a Havanese. I guess I am also guilty of appropriating Cuban culture.
The hyperlink for the line, “most of them were shipped off and given to Europeans” goes to https://www.bioanth.ox.ac.uk/people/prof-greger-larson at “Oxford Biological Anthropology” (for what that may be see below). There’s no article directly linked discussing “shipping off” of early dogs, although one wonders how, well before UPS or the Silk Road, for that matter, “shipping” worked in 12,000 BC.
Anyway, this “professor” page cites three works:
- “Cultural and Scientific Perceptions of Human-Chicken Interactions”
- “Deciphering dog domestication through a combined ancient DNA and geometric morphometric approach”
- “Unifying Domestication and Evolutionary Biology through Ancient DNA”
Nothing on shipping there, but maybe that’s a specialist’s term we racist dog-owners aren’t party to.
White ownership of dogs is racist because they were early warning systems to alert you to Mau Maus, Simbas, etc. lurking in the bush plotting murder. Now they serve as security in many American homes.
