Dogs (scientific name ''Canis lupus familiaris'') are a subspecies of [[wolf|wolves]], divided into a multitude of different breeds all in principle capable of interbreeding (though in some cases, physical relations between representatives of two breeds are unlikely or problematic - Chihuahuas and Great Danes, for example).

There have been fossils of wolf bones with humans dated 100,000 BC.<ref>http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s513072.htm</ref> and based on DNA evidence, these species diverged about 100,000BC as well
