Genetic study shows dogs traveled with humans across Eurasia for 11,000 years For tens of thousands of years, dogs have been in symbiosis with people across the vast range of Eurasia, but new genetic findings indicate that their history was tied to human migrations more closely than previously known. According to research published in Science, major cultural transitions, such as those of hunter-gatherers, early farmers, or Bronze Age pastoralists, were often accompanied by distinct movements of dog populations...
