An international team of researchers led by the Francis Crick Institute, the University of East Anglia and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology has found that dogs were domesticated more than 14,000 years ago and that dogs living in pre-agricultural Europe contributed substantially to the genetics of dogs living after agriculture and in the present day. The findings appear in Nature.
