Modern Dogs A new study led by the University
of California Davis' wildlife genetics researchers provides a
surprising glimpse into the global heritage of both wild and
domestic dogs. Results from the study, which examined the DNA
of 642 dogs, suggest that European and American canine breeds were
much more influenced by dogs from Southeast Asia than by ancient
Western dogs or by dogs from the Middle East, as was previously
thought. We'll speak with Ben Sacks,
the lead researcher of the study.
