The earliest dog relative found so for; a gorgonopsian ~270 Mya.
Isn't the word 'relative' unclear?
Kind of like 'kind', 'species', or 'hybrid'?
I am thinking that wolves, coyotes, and jackals can
all cross and produce viable offspring, but foxes
can not?
Then there is some of the South American canids
that are closer than foxes but more distant than
say wolves from coyotes and jackals?
What kind of kind is 'kind'?
