==Domestication==
Gregory Acland, a veterinarian at Cornell University in Ithaca, USA, believes that it was not humans that got dogs, but the other way around. If you believe him, the human being at that time did not even have the intellectual abilities to domesticate the dog, as he himself was "not yet completely domesticated". The early dog found an ecological niche in the vicinity of Homo sapiens and thus “depleted” itself. It used the joint hunting trips with humans as social parasites. This happened about 135,000 years ago when Homo sapiens migrated from Africa to the Middle East and brought the dog to Europe with them decades later. The external appearance of the dog remained wolf-like for a long time, which is why there are no “dog-typical” bones from this time.
