Oh really? So dogs and wolves are related, I knew it. Do you know how wolves went from wolves to dogs?
knowledge: The evolution of the wolf occurred over a geologic time scale of 800 thousand years, transforming the first Middle Pleistocene wolf specimen that is recognized as being morphologically similar to ''Canis lupus'' into today's dog, dingo and gray wolf.
response: Not really the exact details but their evolution started over a time of 800,000 years!

What else do you know about wolves?
knowledge: Wolves went through a population bottleneck 20,000 years before present (YBP), which indicates that many wolf populations had gone extinct at a time that coincided with the Last Glacial Maximum and the expansion of modern humans worldwide with their technology for capturing large game.
response: Well, 20,000 before the present, the wolves were in a population bottleneck, so a lot of the population went extinct.

I'm glad they didnt
knowledge: Wolves have been actively hunted since 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, when they first began to pose a threat to livestock vital for the survival of Neolithic human communities.
response: Also, humans began hunting wolves around 8,000 to 10.000 years ago.
