S3 E8 Dogs in the Ancient Americas
In this episode I’ll ask the age old question – who’s a good dog? Dogs were man’s best friend in Americas for 1000’s of years, from Alaska to the tip of Chile. They were pets, cargo haulers, hunting companions, guides to the afterlife, and at times, food. Join me as I discuss what I know about dogs in the ancient Americas.
Is the so called “Carolina dog” a real native dog?
Its partially native, but most of its genes are Eurasian replacements after European contact.
