Are some dogs not direct descendents of wolves?
Depends on how you mean the question. Scientist generally think (a) that all dogs are descendents of wolves or (b) all dogs and all wolves are descendents of a common ancestor in the relatively recent past. Relatively recent, like, more recent than, say,100,000 years, is my understanding. I think that (a) is the more common belief at this point. At one time the scientist Konrad Lorentz thought that some dogs were descended from jackals, but he later retracted that belief. On the other hand dogs and wolves are completely interfertile (as contrasted with horses and donkeys, for instance) and some individual dogs are most certainly descended from an individual, amorous wolf. Not all dogs are Direct descendents of wolves, acctually some wolf-decendent-dogs were breed with others to create most of the dogs we know today
