"Maria: dogs evolved from wolves and wolves still exist. OKAY?"

I read recently that dogs and wolves are genetically identical. Selective breeding and domestication have changed dogs over the last 50,000 years or however long it's been.

Not exactly identical, but close enough to interbreed; genetic studies take it back to the derivation about 15,000 years ago--in Asia (Asian wolves).
