An international team has studied the archaeological and genetic records of ancient people and dogs.
Researchers led by archaeologist Dr Angela Perri, of Durham University, found that the first people to come to the Americas, more than 15,000 years ago from north-east Asia, were accompanied by their dogs.
They discovered that canine domestication likely took place in Siberia more than 23,000 years ago, and people eventually moved west towards Europe and east towards the Americas.
The Americas were one of the last regions of the world to be settled by people, by which time dogs had been domesticated.
Dr Perri said: “Dog domestication occurring in Siberia answers many of the questions we’ve always had about the origins of the human-dog relationship.
