domesticated in China about 12,000 to 15,000 years ago. Some researchers have suggested the domestication process actually occurred much earlier. There is evidence that early humans living in China (Homo erectus pekinesis) were associated with small wolves (Canis lupus chanco) during the mid-Pleistocene era about 200,000 to 500,000 years ago.

The results of human intervention have often been disastrous for the organism that we’re supposedly helping. Humans often times do not understand the
