text: According to a phylogeny derived from nuclear sequences, the Eurasian golden jackal (Canis aureus) diverged from the wolf/coyote lineage 1.9 million years ago, and with mitochondrial genome sequences indicating the Ethiopian wolf diverged from this lineage slightly prior to that.:S1 Further studies on RAD sequences found instances of Ethiopian wolves hybridizing with African golden wolves.
