That's actually about the time the canine genome shows the beginning of the racial split between wolves and what would become dogs (probably the curved tail, and coat/eye variance were the first changes.) And that domestication process seems to have started in northern Europe/Eurasia (temperate/boreal forests, which also demand full-time clothes-wearing. Clothing is also a technology.)
Why let a little thing like facts get in the way of a guy's agenda?
