   Did the 2022 ancient-wolf study locate the exact founding wolf populations of dogs?

   Yes, all sampled ancient wolves were direct founders No, the precise progenitor populations remained unidentified Yes, one living wolf population was proved unchanged since domestication

2. 2. Which ancestral animals gave rise to domestic dogs?

   Which ancestral animals gave rise to domestic dogs?

   Ancient grey wolf populations Red fox populations Golden jackal populations

3. 3. On a timeline of animal domestication, where does the dog belong?

   On a timeline of animal domestication, where does the dog belong?

   After the domestication of cattle At the same time as modern breed registries Before the domestication of farm livestock

4. 4. What happened to indigenous dog ancestry after European arrival in the Americas?

   What happened to indigenous dog ancestry after European arrival in the Americas?

   Earlier ancestry remained completely unchanged All introduced dogs immediately disappeared Introduced lineages largely replaced earlier ones

5. 5. Which description best captures the origins of dogs?

   Which description best captures the origins of dogs?

   One fully documented meeting between one person and one wolf An event whose exact date and location are universally agreed A long population history with questions still under investigation

6. 6. Is an ancient genetic lineage the same thing as a modern recognised breed?

   Is an ancient genetic lineage the same thing as a modern recognised breed?

   Yes, each lineage had a modern breed standard Yes, lineage names are historical kennel-club registrations No, they describe different kinds of grouping

7. 7. Where were the roughly 15,800-year-old dog remains reported in March 2026 found?

   Where were the roughly 15,800-year-old dog remains reported in March 2026 found?

   Kesslerloch, in Switzerland Pınarbaşı, in present-day Türkiye Gough's Cave, in Britain

8. 8. Are living wolves automatically unchanged copies of the ancestors of dogs?

   Are living wolves automatically unchanged copies of the ancestors of dogs?

   Yes, geographic proximity proves direct ancestry Yes, wolves stopped evolving when dogs appeared No, wolf populations also have an evolutionary history

9. 9. Must changes in human and dog populations always follow the same pattern?

   Must changes in human and dog populations always follow the same pattern?

   No, their histories can be connected without matching perfectly Yes, dog and human ancestry trees are identical Yes, every human migration replaces every local dog

10. 10. Why is ancient maternal ancestry surviving in some Chihuahuas interesting?

    Why is ancient maternal ancestry surviving in some Chihuahuas interesting?

    It proves Chihuahuas were the first domesticated dogs It proves every Chihuahua has an entirely unchanged ancient genome It preserves a trace of pre-contact dog history

11. 11. Does ancestry from two wolf populations automatically prove two independent domestications?

    Does ancestry from two wolf populations automatically prove two independent domestications?

    Yes, ancestry contributions always count domestication events Yes, it proves each modern breed was separately domesticated No, later interbreeding is another possible explanation

12. 12. What proposed benefit could favour early cooperation with dogs?

    What proposed benefit could favour early cooperation with dogs?

    Help in hunting Producing wool as their main original role Guarding cultivated fields as a proven universal origin

14. 14. In the camp-scavenging hypothesis, what could attract wolves towards people?

    In the camp-scavenging hypothesis, what could attract wolves towards people?

    Accessible food remains Shelter built specifically for registered breeds The presence of domesticated cattle as an essential first condition

15. 15. How does the formation of most modern standardised breeds compare with domestication?

    How does the formation of most modern standardised breeds compare with domestication?

    It occurred before the first domestic dogs It is much more recent It happened at exactly the same time

    The industrial revolution The last Ice Age The European Middle Ages

17. 17. What does shared ancestry between an early European dog and later dogs elsewhere suggest?

    What does shared ancestry between an early European dog and later dogs elsewhere suggest?

    Similar dog ancestry requires identical human cultures Connections in their population history Every dog stayed permanently in one valley

18. 18. What communities lived with the dogs identified at Pınarbaşı and Gough's Cave?

    What communities lived with the dogs identified at Pınarbaşı and Gough's Cave?

    Communities of the Roman Empire Hunter-gatherer communities Early medieval farming communities

19. 19. What did a 2020 ancient-dog study infer for roughly 11,000 years ago?

    What did a 2020 ancient-dog study infer for roughly 11,000 years ago?

    At least five major ancestry lineages had diversified Only one identical dog population existed worldwide Modern breed standards were already established

20. 20. Do early European dog discoveries alone prove a European domestication centre?

    Do early European dog discoveries alone prove a European domestication centre?

    Yes, the oldest known find always fixes the origin Yes, evidence from other regions no longer matters No, the wider archaeological record is incomplete
