The cross-breeding of dogs has made
it difficult to trace the genetic roots of today's pets, according to a new
study.
Scientists from Durham and Aberdeen analysed data from the genetic make-up of
modern dogs while assessing the archaeological record of dog remains.
They found that modern breeds genetically have little in common with their
ancient ancestors.
The scientists believe their research could offer new insights into dog
domestication and its evolution.
