In the history of the carnivores, the family Canidae is represented by the two extinct subfamilies designated as Hesperocyoninae and Borophaginae, and the extant subfamily Caninae.[5] This subfamily includes all living canids and their most recent fossil relatives.[6] Their fossils have been found in Lower Oligocene North America, and they did not spread to Asia until the end of the Miocene,[7][8][9][10] some 7 million to 8 million years ago.[5] Many extinct species of Caninae were endemic to North America, living from 34 million to 11,000 years ago.[11]
Taxonomy
"Derived characteristics that distinguish the Caninae from other canids include small, simple, well-spaced premolars, a humerus without an entepicondylar foramen, and a metatarsal 1 which is reduced to a proximal rudiment."[12]
Based on genetic assumptions, the present-day, more-basal canids include:[13]
