The domestication of dogs likely occurred in Eurasia by 16,000 years ago, and the initial peopling of the Americas potentially happened around the same time. Dogs were long thought to have accompanied the first migrations into the Americas, but concl... Read More about New Evidence of the Earliest Domestic Dogs in the Americas.

Detecting hidden diets and disease: Zoonotic parasites and fish consumption in Mesolithic Ireland (2018)
Journal Article

Archaeoparasitology is increasingly being used as a tool in archaeological research to investigate relationships between past humans, environments, diets and disease. It can be particularly useful in contexts where parasite eggs preserve, but human a...

The evolutionary history of dogs in the Americas (2018)
Journal Article
Ní Leathlobhair, M., Perri, A. R., Irving-Pease, E. K., Witt, K. E., Linderholm, A., Haile, J., …Frantz, L. A. (2018). The evolutionary history of dogs in the Americas. Science, 361(6397), 81-85. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aao4776

Dogs have been present in North America for at least 9000 years. To better understand how present-day breeds and populations reflect their introduction to the New World, Ní Leathlobhair et al. sequenced the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes of ancien...
