Also Chinese: Mandarin {ch'u"an}, Ancient Chinese {kjwan} = "dog". Perhaps the
word spread along with the animal from whoever first domesticated it. I read
recently of work on mitochondrial DNA which seemd to show that domestic dogs
are all descended from a very few original female wild wolves. How long ago
and where are domestic dog bones first found in archaeology?
