“…These results may have implications for determining the ancestral origins of the Japanese wolf. It appears that the Japanese wolf inhabited several areas on Kyushu, Shikoku, and Honshu Islands, but not Hokkaido Island, before the Jomon Period, since skeletal remains have been excavated from archaeological sites of the Jomon Period (Miyao et al, 1980;Naora, 1965;Shigehara and Hongo, 2000). Since the Japanese wolf has been not found on Hokkaido Island, the ancestor of this species may have migrated from the Asian continent to Japan via the Korean Peninsula.…”

“…F. von Siebold, 1796-1866 at the National Museum of Natural History, Leiden, Netherlands (Obara, 2002). Skeletal remains of the Japanese wolf have been found in archaeological sites dating from the Jomon Period (10,000 to 250 B.C) (Miyao et al, 1980;Naora, 1965;Shigehara and Hongo, 2000). Based on these findings, the Japanese wolf is thought to have had a wide distribution and to have been native to three of the main islands of Japan (Kyushu, Shikoku and Honshu), but not Hokkaido Island.…”

“…The Japanese wolf is reported to have been fairly widely distributed in the main islands of Japan since the Jomon period (10,000–250 B.C.) until as recent as the early 1900s, but it is unclear where they originate from [ 54 , 67 ]. While it is largely thought that the gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) is directly ancestral to the domestic dog, the phylogenetic relationship between the gray wolf and Canis cf.…”

“…The oldest dog remains found in Japan to date are a fragment of a right mandible excavated at the Natsushima shell mound in Kanagawa Prefecture (Naora, 1973) and a left maxillary canine tooth excavated at the Tochihara cave site in Nagano Prefecture (Miyao et al, 1987). Both were isolated remains and were estimated to be from the middle of the Initial Jomon period.…”
