I thought some of you may find these olds notes from one of my highschool classes interesting.. I think I only saved it because of the interesting facts.. I am sorry I do not have the exact original source. But think that my Dog, and My Cat maybe Great Great Great cousins of eachother is a wild thought.. or something like that. - DNatureofDTrain 60,000,000 years ago in the age of the Eocene Epoch, Miacis (a tree climbing carnivore) just was... and in the age of the Oligocene Epoch about 40,000,000 years ago The Powers of be transformed it into the Cnodictis Who is the ancesters of seals Ancesters of racoons Ancestors of hyenas Who then begat the Dictis and the Pseudocynodictus in the age of Miocene Epoch at 25,000,000 years ago. Psudocynodictus (a small slender animal) Then begat Cynodemus (ancester of wolves and foxes) In the age of the Pliocene and Pleistine Epoch, and the Powers at be transformed Dictis (first of the normal cats) into Felis. And just after this age, The Cynodemus was transformed into the Tomarctus. And in the age of 500,000 years ago they call this recent time. (does not sound very recent to me lol) The Tomarctus (father of modern dogs) Then transformed into... Canis familiaris metro-optimae Canis familiaris ostranzewi Canis familiaris leinari Canis familiaris intermeidus... And the Felis remained unchanged... Then 11,000 years ago not so modern.. but called Modern time... The Felis transformed into the domestic cat... and the Canis familiaris metro-optimae transformed into herd dogs. and the Canis familiaris ostranzewi turned into scent hounds, and mastiffs. and the Canis familiaris leinari turned into sight hounds and the Canis familiaris intermeidus... turned into toy dogs, and Northern sled dogs.. And then I ended my writers cramp lol, and scratched my head... and Wondered.. Why Adam and Eve chose Latin as their language to scientifically name Animals. :) - DNatureofDTrain
