Genetics

Many millennia ago, man created dog. As the story goes, gray wolves in East Asia took to the comforts of human camp life somewhere between 15,000 and 40,000 years ago. People bred their new canine companions for docility and other favored traits. Along the way the dogs and wolves were bred together, making the wolves genetics somewhat similar to the dogs. They are both even missing the same three DNA.

I think this is pretty cool to know about this, and how it all happened. A couple thousand years ago this all happened and they figured it out and i think that it's good to know.
