TL;DR: It is shown that the Bronze Age was a highly dynamic period involving large-scale population migrations and replacements, responsible for shaping major parts of present-day demographic structure in both Europe and Asia.

TL;DR: It is shown that climate has been a major driver of population change over the past 50,000 years, however, each species responds differently to the effects of climatic shifts, habitat redistribution and human encroachment.

TL;DR: The findings imply that domestic dogs are the culmination of a process that initiated with European hunter-gatherers and the canids with whom they interacted, and molecular dating suggests an onset of domestication there 18,800 to 32,100 years ago.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined several skulls of fossil large canids from sites in Belgium, Ukraine and Russia to look for possible evidence of the presence of Palaeolithic dogs.

TL;DR: Results suggest that dogs may have been domesticated independently in Eastern and Western Eurasia from distinct wolf populations, and East Eurasian dogs were then possibly transported to Europe with people, where they partially replaced European Paleolithic dogs.
