Oldest Known American Dog Found — May Have Come With First Humans

The oldest remains of a domesticated dog in North America were found in Alaska, and this pooch may add a missing link to when and how the first domesticated dogs migrated here from Russia – but it’s looking more and more like the first ones were at the side of the first humans to migrate here. This is an exciting historical discovery – not just something to rub in the face of your cat-loving friends. “The fossil record of ancient dogs in the Americas is incomplete, so any new remains that are found provide important clues. Before our study, the earliest ancient American dog bones that had their DNA sequenced were found in the U.S. Midwest.”

Tiny bone chunk hints at how dogs got to the Americas

An ancient bone fragment holds clues to how dogs got to the Americas, researchers report. The research reports that a bone fragment found in Southeast Alaska belongs to a dog that lived in the region about 10,150 years ago. Scientists say the remains a piece of a femur represent the oldest confirmed remains of a domestic dog in the Americas. DNA from the bone fragment holds clues about early canine history in this part of the world. Researchers analyzed the dog’s mitochondrial genome, and concluded that the animal belonged to a lineage of dogs whose evolutionary history diverged from that of Siberian dogs as early as 16,700 years ago. The timing of that split coincides with a period when humans may have been migrating into North America along a coastal route that included Southeast Alaska.
