Dogs in ancient China

Dogs (''Canis lupus familiaris''), known in Classical Chinese as ''quan'' (), played an important role in ancient Chinese society.
== Domestication ==

An examination of the genetic evidence by Carles Vila and others confirms that the progenitor of the domestic dog is the wolf (''Canis lupus'').〔J. A. Leonard, R. K. Wayne, J. Wheeler, R. Valadez, S. Guillén, C Vilà, (2002) "Ancient DNA evidence for Old World origin of New World dogs" ''Science'' 298: 1613-1616.〕 The suggested date of their domestication is about 100,000 BC. While accepting the wolf as the ancestor, paleontologists and archaeologists believe domestication came much later. A reconstruction by a joint team of researchers from China and Sweden postulates that humans may have domesticated dogs from wolves as recently as 15,000 years ago. They found that, while most dogs share a common gene pool, genetic diversity is highest in East Asia, suggesting dogs have been domesticated there the longest. Genetic research suggests that all domestic dogs worldwide may have originated from possibly three female wolves.
The dog, along with the pig, were the earliest animals domesticated in China. Remains of both animals have been found in the oldest Neolithic settlements of the Yangshao (circa 4000 BC) and Hemudu (circa 5000 BC) cultures. Canine remains similar to the Dingo have been found in some early graves excavated in northern China.
Tests on neolithic dog bones show similarities between dogs from this era and modern-day Japanese dogs, especially the shiba inu.〔Nobuo Shigehara, Qi Guoqin, Hajime Komiya, Yuan Jing, "Morphological study of the ancient dogs from three neolithic sites in China" ''International Journal of Osteoarchaeology'' Vol. 8 Issue 1 (2008) pp. 11-22.〕
