Just a short snippet, about how long people and dogs have been living closely together:
Fossil evidence suggests dogs were first domesticated from wolves at least 14,000 years ago
Other events from that time:
- Dog burials
-
The oldest known dog, dating to about 14,000 years ago in Germany, was buried with two people.

- Humans in North America
-
New evidence shows humans lived in North America more than 14,000 years ago, 1,000 years earlier than had previously been known.
…The petrified poop — coprolites to scientists — is yielding a look at the diet of these ancient Americans, Jenkins said.
While the analysis is not yet complete, he said there are bones of squirrels, bison hair, fish scales, protein from birds and dogs and the remains of plants such as grass and sunflowers.
- Mammoths
-
“Mammoths are conventionally believed to have become extinct in North Western Europe about 21,000 years ago during the main ice advance, known as the ‘Last Glacial Maximum’” said Lister. “Our new radiocarbon dating of the Condover mammoths changes that, by showing that mammoths returned to Britain and survived until around 14,000 years ago.”

Those must have been interesting times.
