The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is the ancestor of the domestic dog.  Since even in the evolutionary view this is considered to have occurred in a relatively short time frame (as little as 15,000 years ago) this is one area where the views of [[YEC|Young earth creationists]] and evolutionists generally overlap.

== Wolves in the Bible ==

Wolves, until recently, were feared, and often shot on sight. This is due to the fact that wolves competed with early humans for prey, such as deer, and, more recently, killing pets and livestock. While there are many stories of wolves killing humans, wolf attacks are extremely rare; no fatalities have occured in North America from a healthy (non-rabid), wild wolf.

 

Wolves are mentioned several times in the [[Bible]], where they are typically used as examplars of savagery. When Jesus sends out the [[Apostles]], he says,

''Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.'' Matthew 10:16 (KJV)

and Isaiah prophesies the New Earth,

''The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.'' Isaiah 65:25 (KJV)
