　　原标题：中国科学家研究认为狗起源于中国南方

　　新华社昆明4月24日电（记者岳冉冉）狗的起源和驯化一直是个争议不断的科学问题。我国中科院的科学家于近日在国际知名期刊《美国科学院院刊》发表文章深入探讨了这一问题，认为狗起源于中国南方。

　　据论文第一作者、中科院昆明动物研究所副研究员王国栋介绍，目前，学界对于狗起源的说法主要有东亚起源说、中亚起源说、欧洲起源说和中东起源说。

　　王国栋说：“我们通过整合已经发表的中国南方家犬群体的数据，并结合我们自己的研究成果表明，家犬是在33000年前左右开始逐渐被人类驯化，中国南方的家犬群体拥有最小的连锁不平衡距离，这一指标支持狗起源于中国南方。”

　　王国栋表示，下一步，还将对野外科考结果和1000多份样本做详尽分析，以确定狗起源的确切地区，届时将揭开狗的“身世之谜”。
