The Human-Dog Singularity

Summary
This is an abstract from the "2025 Fryxell Award Symposium: Papers in Honor of David J. Meltzer Part II" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The first animal or plant with which humans formed a strong commensal relationship with was the wolf. This interaction led to dogs, the first of many domestic animals on which we now rely. Using the latest data from archaeological and scientific techniques including ancient DNA, I’ll detail what we know about how this special relationship has manifested in a joint biological and cultural history as we dispersed together across the globe.
