    They don't though, their last common ancestor is a precursor to the modern wolf, but they did come from a different species (though the separation of the species is incredibly recent, biologically, only as short as 30,000 years ago)

    Honestly I kinda like this fun fact myself though

    And to be fair, the thing that's the common ancestor we do call it a Wolf, the name is "Pleistocene Wolf", it's just genetically not a wolf

    Like the tree goes

    • thing that's kinda like a wolf
      • thing that's kinda like a dog
        • thing that's kinda like a dog
          • thing that's kinda like a dog
            • modern dog
      • other thing that's kinda like a wolf
        • etc
          • etc
            • modern wolf

    And they can still interbreed, so not that far away genetically, just with (usually, occasionally not) infertile offspring
