Greenland Sled Dogs Just Changed History

Turns out, Greenland’s sled dogs (qimmit) have been keeping secrets for over a thousand years! New DNA research shows these pups split from their ancestors way before the Vikings showed up—like, over 1,100 years ago. Even wilder? Their closest dog relatives are ancient Alaskan sled dogs, not modern huskies. Basically, these dogs just rewrote what we thought we knew about when and how people settled Greenland. Who knew our furry friends could be history’s best storytellers? #Science #GreenlandDogs #HistoryRewrite
