“By roughly 14,000 years ago, hunter-gatherer societies across Europe had discovered dogs”

I wonder if dogs played a key role protecting women against men.
“the dogs were more genetically similar than the humans were”
They passed between clans and tribes. Actual creation of dogs happened many times and likely is much older.

20y of mouse cloning: “These re-cloned mice appeared normal and had normal lifespans, but large structural and lethal mutations accumulated in their DNA with each generation”

It took a long time to manifest as illness!
Here they show that extended serial somatic cell cloning imposes a threefold increase in de novo mutations compared to natural reproduction, progressively reducing birth rates and ultimately limiting clonal propagation to 58 generations.
