A Pitbull is no more related to a wolf than you're related to me.
Yes, we share a common ancestor. Furthermore, all of us humans have about 2% neanderthal blood.... EXCEPT for Africans. Those of us that migrated couldn't help ourselves and had to have some hairy neanderthal puntang as we migrated out of Africa and ran into our other species hominids from a common ancestor. Furthermore, another sparse population in the Tibet area has about 1% davonian dna... Yes, an all together different species of humanoid with whom we also share a common ancestor. It is with great caution and doubt that I would say that a pig is closer to a dog than dog is to a wolf. Breed a horny dog to a pig in heat... No offspring. Breed a dog to a wolf and voila.... A hybrid. Same can be said with neanderthal and human.
Sounds logical to me .
I Just wanted to see if any one was gullible enough to read the first ridiculous thing what came to my mind hahaha. Dogs definitely either come from the african wild dog or wolf. Hard to say. hyena is more closely related to The big cat family so no connection there. If you looking for answers head to indian. There are still dogs there what seem to be transitioning from wild animals to domesticated dogs. they resemble that of the african wild dog.
I live in africa my friends. seen all these animals and i have never seen wild wolves behave anything like a canine But a african wild dog. No doubt they cut from the same cloth.
Dingo, Canaan Dog, Basanji, Indian Paria Dog, Koi Dog, Sicha Dog, I-Twina Dog, I-NJA Isintu Dog, Carolina Dog. These are a few of the primitive dogs found in the world. Most of them are found in africa. I think its safe to say that dogs came from africa and my own personal opinion they are not descendants of the wolf. Rather they evolved from the african dogs after the continental shift
