  • Basenji Origin and Migration: Through the African Threshold by James E
    The Official Bulletin of the Basenji Club of America 39(3): 28-31. July, August, September 2005. Copyright © James E. Johannes, 2005. All Rights Reserved. Basenji Origin and Migration: Through the African threshold by James E. Johannes Introduction After entering into Africa, possibly the same time as domestic goats and sheep, the Basenji’s ancestor could have taken one or more routes to get to Central Africa. The current distribution of Basenji like dogs along equatorial Africa, from West Africa, Central Africa, to Somalia does not indicate a possible route taken. The archaeology record and prehistoric art may provide an answer. Dog types of Africa Gallant (2002) dates the arrival of the dog from the Middle East to 7000 BP (approx. 5000 BC). Slender sighthounds, housedogs, and powerful assault dogs migrated from the Near and Middle East during the early Neolithic (Gallant, 2002). Three basic dog types recorded in Ancient Egypt include the pariah dog, the greyhound and the mastiff (Blench, 2004). Of the three types, the pariah and greyhound have spread over much of the continent while the mastiff was limited to North Africa and is not present in modern times. The three dog types also show up in the rock images of the Sahara (Cesarino, 1997). Epstein (1971) placed the Basenji within the pariah group. Migration Routes Cesarino (1997) surveyed the rock art in North Africa and he proposed several routes used by the dog, one along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coast, several routes through the Sahara, and another down the Nile. The Basenji’s ancestor could have taken one or more of these routes to reach Central Africa.

  • An Historical Ecology of the Baladi Dog in Egypt
    Amina El Shazly An Historical Ecology of the Baladi Dog in Egypt Master’s thesis in Global Environmental History 1 Abstract El Shazly, A. 2019. An Historical Ecology of the baladi dog in Egypt. Uppsala, Department of Archeology and Ancient History. Dogs have a long but neglected history as companion species in Egypt history. From the most valued companion in ancient Egypt the relationship between dogs and humans has changed over time. However, in the present day the Egyptian baladi dog has been abused, neglected, unwanted for centuries. In this thesis, I investigate the nature and relationships between humans and dogs in Egypt in the past and present drawing on archeological, historical and genetic information. I will dig deeper into dog genetics to better understand the distinction between the baladi dog in relation to other breeds. Using online surveys, I interview baladi and non-baladi dog owners to understand how Egyptians perceive the baladi dog today exploring also how and why this perception is changing. Moreover, through interviews with rescuers and veterinarians I examine further the general perception of baladi dogs in Egypt from their perspectives. As I show, perceptions of the baladi dog have changed positively over the recent years both in Egypt and abroad, though there is still a long way to go. The better status of the perceptions of the baladi dog has also meant that the baladi is increasingly seen as a ‘breed’ or a particular dog type. The changing perceptions of the baladi dog and the debates around them is discussed and scrutinized in relation to urban planning and policy.

Contact : [email protected] Résumé : Le présent travail reprend la partie bibliographique de la thèse que l’auteure a soutenue le 15 décembre 2017 à l’Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1 pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur Vétérinaire. Cette thèse intitulée Le chien en Egypte ancienne : approche archéozoologique et apports de la craniologie. Application à une série de chiens momifiés (El-Deir) et comparaison avec des chiens actuels et anciens (Kerma) se concentre sur l’étude du crâne osseux du chien en vue d’une application sur du matériel égyptien de l’époque gréco-romaine. En effet, parmi les millions d’animaux momifiés par les anciens égyptiens, le chien est l’un des plus représentés. L’objectif était ici de donner au lecteur les principales connaissances utiles à l’étude du calvarium du chien en Egypte ancienne, cet ensemble squelettique étant souvent bien conservé, en proposant une approche interdisciplinaire, entre Sciences naturelles et Histoire, pour mieux appréhender les relations Homme-chien au cours du temps. L’Egyptologie et l’Archéozoologie, par l’étude des textes, des représentations et des vestiges animaux, ont donné de véritables clefs pour comprendre ce contexte chrono-culturel si particulier.
