I want to know the answer to the following question:
Testing revealed today's dogs trace back by how many years?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Although initially thought to have originated as a manmade variant of an extant canid species (variously supposed as being the dhole, golden jackal, or gray wolf), extensive genetic studies undertaken during the 2010s indicate that dogs diverged from an extinct wolf-like canid in Eurasia 40,000 years ago.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
