    Dogs were domesticated from gray wolves over 40,000 years ago in Eurasia. Through millennia of selective breeding, dogs have become uniquely attuned to human behavior and able to thrive on starch-rich diets. Dogs come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors as a result of selective breeding for different behaviors, senses and physical attributes.

    The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris)[2] is a domesticated canine which has

    been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviours, sensory capabilities, and physical
    attributes.[3]
    Although initially thought to have originated as an artificial variant of an extant canid species
    (variously supposed as being thedhole,[4] golden jackal,[5] or gray wolf[6]), extensive genetic studies
    undertaken during the 2010s indicate that dogs diverged from an extinct wolf-like
    canid in Eurasia 40,000 years ago.[7] Their long association with humans has led to dogs being
    uniquely attuned to human behavior[8] and are able to thrive on a starch-rich diet which would be
    inadequate for other canid species.[9] Dogs are alsothe oldest domesticated animal. Dogs vary widely
    in shape, size and colours
