Yes, dogs can trace their ancestry back to wolves. Modern dogs are the result of thousands of years of domestication and artificial selection between humans and wolves. Based on genetic and archaeological research, scientists believe that the earliest ancestor of modern dogs was the gray wolf (Canis lupus).
About 15,000 years ago, humans began to domesticate wolves. Through interaction with humans and selective breeding, various types of dogs were gradually developed to meet human needs and preferences. This results in a diversity of dog appearances, sizes, personalities and behavioral habits.
Although dogs and wolves share a common ancestor, modern dogs have developed unique characteristics due to human domestication and breeding, and differ in many ways from wild wolves.
