This is what researchers found after part of the greatness of what they call the dog confirmed the earliest domesticated in the Americas.
And made the University of Maine graduate student Samuel Belknap third cross part of the analysis of a sample when dried out of human waste discovered in the state of Texas South-west in the 1970s. Belknap said no wolf, wolf or fox, - test-carbon dating put the bones in the age of 9400 years, DNA analysis and confirmed that it came from a dog.
Because they were found deep in a pile of human waste, and the color is orange and brown deals that prevent bone when they passed through the digestive system, and part provide the most direct evidence that the dogs - in addition to being used for security, and the fishing company, said to be eaten by humans, but and may have been born as a source of food, –.
The research does not Belknap dogs when he found the bones. Instead, he was seen to diet and nutrition of people living in the area of the Lower Pecos, Texas between 1000 and 10000 years ago.
“It just so happens that the person who lived 9400 years ago used to eat dog,” said Belknap.
I have written Belknap and other researchers from the University of Maine and the University of Oklahoma in the laboratories of molecular anthropology, where the DNA analysis, and a paper on their findings.
The paper reviewed and scientifically accepted, pending revisions, for publication in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology later this year, said Christopher Ruff editor of the president. He declined to comment on the article until it is published.
Dogs have played an important role in human culture for thousands of years.
Said Robert Wayne, a professor of evolutionary biology at the University of California and an expert on the evolution of the dog and there are archaeological records of dogs dating back 31,000 years from a site in Belgium 0.26000 years in the Czech Republic and 15000 years in Siberia. But records of dogs in the new world is not as detailed or go to nearly as far.
For his research, Belknap - who does not own a dog himself - had stool samples that are shipped to him that he was detected in 1974 and 1975 from the archaeological site known as the Hinds Cave and kept in storage at the University of Texas A & M. Part about six-tenths of an inch (15 millimeters) long and three to four tenths of an inch (8-10 mm) wide, or about the size of pinky nail on the person.
And select the bone and a fellow student and a part of the skull where it connects with the spine. He came from a dog that might like a small, short nose, short hair boobies that were common among the Indians of the Great Plains.
Based on bone size, and numbers Belknap dog weighed between 25 and 30 £ (10-13 kg). Also found what he thought was a foot bone of the dog, but it was a very small part so that can not be analyzed.
Has developed the archaeological excavations of other dogs in the United States, which dates back 8000 years or more, but this is the first time has been scientifically proven that dogs that were here until noon, he said.
Said Darcy Morey, a faculty member at Radford University who has studied the evolution of the dog over the decades, the study of the 1980s dated dog found in a cave in danger, Utah, in the period between 9000 and 10000 years old. Were based on those dates, not carbon dating or DNA testing, but on the basis of an analysis of the rock layers surrounding it.
“Until the year 9400 may be the oldest, but probably not,” Mori said in the e-mail.
Mori, whose 2010 book “The dogs: domestication and social development of the Association,” said traces the evolution of dogs, and expressed skepticism about the DNA testing on bone, one part because dogs and wolves are so similar genetically.
Belknap said there may also be the oldest dogs in North America, but this is the oldest dated one is directly aware of. He said for many years, researchers thought that the bones of the dog from an archaeological site in the state of Idaho and 11 000 years, but additional testing on the development of age between 1000 and 3000 years.
“If there’s one thing is to discover our view it to be able to take advantage of these techniques and learn a lot about dogs in the new world and if we apply these tests for samples of all these early,” he said.
Said Wayne, who has not seen in the Belknap Research and believed that the earliest dogs in North America have arrived with early settlers across the Bering land bridge from Asia to the Americas 10000 years ago or earlier.
Belknap is no surprise that dogs were a source of food for man.
He said that a lot of people in Central America, dogs eat regularly. He said through the Great Plains, some tribes of Indians eat dogs when food was scarce, or for celebrations.
“It was certainly an accepted practice among many of the population,” he said.
