Population genetic analyses based only or primarily on modern data are unlikely to account for such complexity when modelling dog demographic history and therefore paleogenomic data from Upper Palaeolithic remains throughout Eurasia will be crucial to ultimately resolve the location (s) of dog domestication.

Finally, we obtain divergence estimates between Eastern and Western dogs of 17,000 — 24,000 years ago, consistent with a single geographic origin for domestication, the timing of which we narrow down to between ∼ 20,000 and 40,000 years ago.

This is consistent with recent findings that AMY2B copy number is highest in modern dog populations originating from geographic regions with prehistoric agrarian societies, and lowest from regions where humans did not rely on agriculture for subsistence34 and supports the claim that the expansion occurred after initial domestication (possibly after the migration of dingoes to Australia 3,500 — 5,000 years ago) 34.

Coupled with the dog domestication bottleneck, this likely simplified the genetic architecture of quantitative traits, including complex disease phenotypes that are not fixed within breeds and were not the subject of selection for novelty.

The loss of genetic diversity in purebred dogs can be attributed to two major population bottleneck events: the first occurring during domestication; and the second arising from breed formation where the repeated use of popular sires, line breeding, breeding for specific phenotypic traits, and promotion of the breed barrier rule, contributed to overall loss in genetic variation [15 - 19].
