That is later than the earliest archaeological evidence for dogs in both places, which means modern dogs share an ancestor that may in fact be younger than the dogs that had already inhabited both Europe and the Far East during the earlier Stone Age period, the Paleolithic.

Germonpré's assertion that the Goyet dog is in fact a dog comes from comparing its skull and jaws with those of wolves and modern dogs.

Researchers used it, in conjunction with the complete genomes of several modern dogs and wolves, to calculate a genetic mutation rate for canines.

Additional support for population structure comes from the clustering of all the ancient samples within C1 into a sub-haplogroup distinct from that of modern dogs, while it is also noteworthy that non-C haplogroups, including A, are more apparent in Southeast Europe in the archaeological record12.

This would be evidenced by a distinct ancestry absent in modern dog genomes that was more prominent in dogs from earlier in the Neolithic, as opposed to genomic continuity from the Early Neolithic to today.

The two major advantages of this estimate are that (a) it only depends on previously discovered variable sites in higher coverage modern dogs (our genotype calling in ancient samples is likely to be much more accurate in such situations), and (b) it uses only a single chromosome from each population (which can be randomly picked), and thus does not require calling heterozygotes accurately (that is, it should not be sensitive to the lower coverage of our ancient samples).

HXH appeared homozygous for the dog - like haplotype at all but one of these 18 loci, and thus was often indistinguishable from most modern dogs.

CTC shows similar admixture patterns to Central Asian and Middle Eastern modern dog populations.

Although none of the German Neolithic samples carries the copy number expansion of the AMY2B gene associated with starch digestion, we find that this gene is present in three copies in NGD, though this is due to a large segmental duplication that is shared with multiple modern dogs, an event separate from the tandem AMY2B duplications.

We examined the phylogenetic relationship of the entire mitochondrial genomes of HXH and CTC with a comprehensive panel of modern dogs across four major clades (A — D), modern wolves and coyotes, and previously reported ancient wolf - like and dog - like whole mitochondrial sequences5, 12.

When we included only modern dogs, we observed that wolf populations appeared to diverge rapidly, concordant with previous studies26, 27, whereas the branching of the main dog lineages took place over a much longer period of time.

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.

Multiple studies have found evidence of a prehistoric turnover of canid mtDNA lineages sometime between the Late Neolithic and today, with haplogroup C, which appears in almost all Neolithic dogs but in less than 10 % of modern dogs, being replaced by haplogroup A in most of Europe5, 11,12.

That would explain why earlier DNA studies reported that all modern dogs were descended from one domestication event, and also the existence of evidence of two domestication event from two different far - flung locations.
