All other dogs derived from the small Phu Quoc Ridgeback population, mixing with wolves for thick fur & pack hunt traits.

It is also much, much more plausible that the dog bottleneck corresponds to the ice age, and not to the introduction of agriculture. I very much doubt that all lineages except one died out post-LGM, and I also doubt such dogs then spread world-wide within a few thousand years.<br /><br />Also, both the Basenji and Dingo are not particularly "ancient" lineages - if anything, they have undergone their own idiosyncratic bottlenecks and re-expansions, which does not make them particular useful for a study like this. There is a lot wider gene pool out there to study. As I have mentioned in the past, in addition to major lines that are known not to be too inbred and Siberian & Alaskan dogs, I would look at dogs in remote villages of Central, South and West Asia and even (e.g., East-Central and NE) Europe, in locations where people would have been least likely to purchase or raise expensive new breeds or would not have cared for particular breeds as long as the local dogs did their job. There may also be surprises in places like the central Amazon or the southern Andes.eurologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440019181278830033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-22106908221114100782013-06-04T01:57:06.624+03:002013-06-04T01:57:06.624+03:00Seems like there was some form of dog that doesn&#...Seems like there was some form of dog that doesn't exist in its original state any more that they came from, instead of dogs coming from wolves.Fiend of 9 worldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712083368615685458noreply@blogger.com
