I had already said all dogs come from wolves.------

Genetic evidence suggests that dogs descended directly from wolves (
Canis) and that the now-extinct wolf lineages that produced dogs branched off from the line that produced modern living wolves sometime between 27,000 and 40,000 years ago. The timing and location of dog
domestication is a matter of debate. There is strong genetic evidence, however, that the first domestication events occurred somewhere in northern Eurasia between 14,000 and 29,000 years ago. In this region wolves likely
facilitated their own domestication by trailing nomadic people in northern Eurasia and consuming the remains of game animals that hunters left behind.Most studies agree that domestication was not a single discrete event. It was a process that unfolded over thousands of years—likely involving dog populations that appeared in different parts of Eurasia at different times, with dogs and wild wolves continuing to interbreed with one another and with early dog populations being replaced by later ones. Some genetic studies have documented evidence of early domestication events in specific regions. One study
contends that wolves were domesticated 16,300 years ago to serve as livestock in
China, whereas another reports that early dogs dating from about 12,000 to 14,000 years ago came from a small strain of
gray wolf that inhabited
India. --------------------
dogs living with humans no longer needed to hunt on their own. wolves needed to be smarter to survive and for their food. with the dependency on humans dogs nor longer needed to hunt.
