Did You Know - Dogs Originate From Wolves

My first post on something science! I thought i would do a friendly one, not too complicated, but still something i find extremely interesting!

Everyone knows (or should know) that dogs have similar characteristics to wolves.

So, how does a poodle originate to a feisty wolf, you say?

In order for Evolution to occur it needs a MASSSSSOOOOVE time scale, and when i talk massive i am not talking days or weeks or months.. im talking thousands, millions even billions of years. 

Ill put this in a very simple form thats easy to understand.. When people breed, they would breed the type of dog which meets the characteristics and genes to which they want. That is basically what happened with wolves. Over time breeders would only breed the pups that had the best looks normally, after domesticating the wolves, the baby pups would have the same genes as its parents but sometimes through random selection, part of its DNA would be different and then when they reproduce, their pups would have the same different type of DNA. This means that over time when these domesticated wolves had pups, breeders kept on breeding the different pups with the random selection, with other pups that have had random selection in their DNA. 

So really.. if it wasn't for us humans many many years ago, we wouldn't have these cute little pups as our household bestfriends.
