Description

The dog is a domesticated descendant of the wolf. Also called the domestic dog, it is derived from the extinct Pleistocene wolf; the gray wolf is the dog's closest living relative. The dog was the first species to be domesticated by humans. Experts estimate that hunter-gatherers domesticated dogs more than 15,000 years ago, which was before the development of agriculture. Due to their long association with humans, dogs have expanded to a large number of domestic individuals and gained the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids.

நாய் அனைத்துண்ணி பாலூட்டி வகையைச் சேர்ந்த ஒரு விலங்கு இனமாகும். இன்று பெரும்பாலும் மனிதர்களோடு வாழ்கின்றது. இன்றுள்ள வளர்ப்பு நாய்கள் ஏறத்தாழ 17,000 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன் வாழ்ந்த மனிதன் ஓநாய்களைப் பழக்கி நாயினமாக வளர்த்தெடுக்கப்பட்டவை என்று கூறப்படுகிறது. மறைந்த உயிரினப் படிவத்தில் இருந்து பெற்ற டி.என்.ஏ (DNA) க்களைக் கொண்டு 150,000 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்னமேயே கூட நாய்கள் பழக்கப்பட்டிருக்கலாம் என எண்ண வாய்ப்பிருக்கின்றது என்பர்.
