Britain's First Dog
Dr. Selina Brace, ancient DNA specialist at the Natural History Museum, and Dr. William Marsh, palaeogenomics researcher, discuss a 15,000-year-old canine from Gough's Cave. They reveal a surprising DNA ID, explain genetic and isotope methods, explore diet parallels with humans, and consider ritual treatment and what this means for early dog-human connections in Ice Age Britain.
