Dogs were the first of any species that people domesticated, and they have been a constant part of human life for millennia.
New studies of canine genetics shed light on the diversity of dogs and our longstanding, still-evolving relationship to them.

Most modern dogs carry traces of wolf ancestry that subtly influence their behavior, appearance, and environmental adaptations.
High-wolf-content dogs, for instance, appear more suspicious of strangers and territorial, while low wolf-content dogs appear ...
A large genomic study of more than 2,700 canids reveals that most modern dogs retain low but measurable levels of wolf ...
