[Thousands of years of human-dog relationship].

During recent years, much progress has been made in understanding the origin and evolution of the dog. Thanks to the collaboration between zooarchaeology, genomics and paleogenetics, researchers were able to hypothesize scenarios regarding the origins of the canine lineages present in Europe at the end of the Pleistocene and the beginning of the Holocene. Research has also shown a correlation between human and canine migration across time and space, highlighting a strong relationship between man and his best friend. This proximity between the two species is also illustrated by the adaptation of this species to anthropogenic selective pressures, particularly in parallel with cultural transitions. Although the history of this species still requires much exploration to be fully understood, these results provide new theoretical bases for understanding the interplay between humans and dogs.
