Dogs have been a part of human cultures for at least 10,000 years, but we still have much to learn about where these connections emerged and how they were shaped over time. Zhang et al. looked at 73 ancient dog genomes from late Pleistocene-to-early Holocene Eurasia and found clear ancestry evidence that dogs and human populations moved together across time and space, suggesting that dogs were an integral part of human culture at the time. They also found that in some cases, especially where particular working or physical traits were valuable, such as in the Arctic, dogs were likely traded among populations.

Well, the rains are truly here.
I stayed indoors and wired up my new garage door opener.
Here’s a panoramic shot of my garage.
The wiring was easy, as all the wires needed were already installed in the 1980s.
But I fussed with the electric eyes for a while until I figured out why the door kept stopping in the middle.
My door tracks had come slightly loose from the wall, and the moving door would misalign the eyes.

Paleogenomics study shows humans and dogs spread across Eurasia together
Dogs have been part of human societies across Eurasia for at least 20,000 years, accompanying us through many social and cultural upheavals.
I moved everything around in the garage today, brought in the hoist, and put the body back on my chassis.
And I took it right back off because I had forgot to remove the old brake fluid reservoir bracket. Also one screw for the battery cable.
Then I put it back on again. Then I took it back off again.
It needs two notches in the firewall to clear the new frame.
I’m gonna go eat dinner and relax a bit before I crawl around cutting notches in the fiberglass, but this body is going on tonight!
