    The study analyzed ancient DNA from dog remains in North and South America and found that New World dogs originated from Old World dogs, likely brought over during human migrations. Mitochondrial DNA sequences from ancient American dogs matched DNA from ancient European and Asian dog remains, indicating an Old World origin. This provides evidence that dogs were brought to the Americas by the earliest human migrants rather than developing independently in the New World.
