Re: GURPS Low-Tech Companion 3: Daily Life and Economics
Yes, it's thread necromancy, but it's about something long-dead. LTC3, p. 14, dates the domestication of dogs possibly as far back as 30,000 BC. That was an extreme date at the time, based on the morphology of a very small set of skeletal remains. But a genetic study published this week also indicates a very early date, as much as 32,000 years ago rather than the more common estimate of 15,000 years. Blind chance, surely, but nevertheless it looks like we got this one right. My dogs were unimpressed when I told them, but people around here may be more interested. |
