When did it happen? And who in this prevailed?
Thy came from wolves, that is a truth that nobody denies,
But wolves and dogs still interbreed, and that's the reason why
Some scientists to this day refuse to admit
That they are different species, and there is no bit,
And no specific strand of DNA,
That tells a dog from wolf in a specific way.
And, so, genetically, it's hard to comprehend
When and where the dog became Man' s best friend.
Now a global projects has been organized,
To study dog fossils of various types and size.
It's led by Oxford's Dr. Larson, and the fossils have been found
And studied by many scientists the world around.
The phase of data gathering is almost all complete,
And Dr. Larson will perhaps at last admit
That the mystery may indeed be solved,
If wolves were tamed by Man, or by themselves evolved
Into dogs...
