OK then someone explain German Shepards Alaskan Malamutes and Huskies. Because they didn’t evolve very far from that split.

German Shepherds are a wolf-dog hybrid. Wolves were used early in the breeding program to give the breed its "wolfy" look.

But today, they're dogs.

I don't see a need to reclassify Canis Lupus Familiaris.

All this new research says is that the modern wolf and the domestic dog at best still cousins on the same family tree.
