The evidence supporting a close relationship of dogs with gray wolves is overwhelming.
— Robert K. Wayne 1999[1]
It was such a long standing view that the gray wolf that we know today was around for hundreds of thousands of years and that dogs derived from them. We're very surprised that the're not.
— Robert K. Wayne 2015[2]
An extinct Late Pleistocene wolf may have been the ancestor of the dog, with the dog's similarity to the extant gray wolf being the result of genetic admixture between the two.
— Olaf Thalmann 2018[3]
Modern dogs, however, are not descended from the same Canis lineage as modern wolves and instead may be descended from a Pleistocene wolf closer in size to a village dog.
— Katheryn Lord 2020[4]
I am interested in the latest research on the origin of the domestic dog.
My interest is in the genetic divergence of the dog lineage from a ghost population of Late Pleistocene wolves, and the possibly related "Paleolithic dog". My interest begins with the divergence of the ancestral dog from its wolf-like ancestor, and ends with the discovery of the Bonn–Oberkassel dog dated 14,200 years ago that was found buried along with two humans.
