Geographical Origin of the Domestic Dog
Abstract The domestic dog ( Canis familiaris ) is considered to be the oldest domestic animal in the world. World‐wide mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) studies clearly indicate a single origin in time and place in Southeast Asia less than 16 000 years ago including a high number of female...
