Tamara Jones+FollowOldest Dog Breed Found in Greenland!Turns out, the world’s oldest domesticated dog breed is the Greenland sledge dog, aka Qimmit! DNA from centuries ago shows these pups have barely changed and stayed true to their Inuit roots—even after European colonization. Unlike other Arctic breeds, Qimmit dogs haven’t mixed much with outsiders, making them living fossils. This discovery not only rewrites dog history but also hints at how fast the Inuit moved across the Arctic. Major win for ancient dog lovers! #Science #DogHistory #Qimmit2562Share

Richard Vaughan+FollowAncient Dog Drama Uncovered!A 16,000-year-old dog skeleton was just found in a French cave, and it’s basically proof that humans and dogs have had a complicated relationship from the start. This pup lived with people, maybe helped hunt, and even got cared for—but also suffered injuries that suggest things weren’t always friendly. Turns out, our bond with dogs started with both cuddles and conflict. Wild to think our couch potatoes have such a dramatic past! #Archaeology #DogHistory #AncientDogs #ScienceNews #HumanAnimalBond #Science470Share
