Theories of human origins are unclear and contradictory. There is no consensus about the origin of man's best friend - dogs. Archaeological findings have shown that dogs existed on Earth already 25-30 million years ago. Thus, it can be argued that during the so-called Cenozoic era, along with the apes there like dogs, farm animals. The scientific name of this animal - Cynodesmus. We know (or at least assume) that as a result of evolution, which has lasted millions of years, there was an interim wolf similar view - Tomarctus, who became the ancestor of the wolf, jackal, fox, coyote, and only canine.
Man tame the wolf became a dog. Most likely, this happened in several parts of the world at the same time, approximately 12 thousand years ago. Remains of dogs found in the mountains Biverhed in Idaho, as well as in Europe, Asia and South America, belong to the same historical era. Friendship man and dog has started a very long time. Always and everywhere - in wartime and in peacetime, in wealth and poverty, in art, hunting, sports, scientific research - a dog accompanies man. Not accidentally English philosopher, wishing to pay tribute to them for this consistency, called the dogs "honorable human beings."
