Comment on When it was all trial and error
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 hours ago…before dogs existed? Do you think there was some date where we invented dogs? Wolfs have always been around, and all dogs are is domesticated wolfs.

What? You’re basically answering your own question: we ‘invented dogs’ when we domesticated wolves. Before that date there were no dogs in existence.
It was not one exact date ofcourse, it is a gradual proces. Still (a quick look at Wikipedia tells me) dogs have only been around for tens of thousands of years (17.500 - 40.000 years is the range I can find). Which is still not that long. People had definitely tried out mushrooms before that.
