  abstract = {{D}ire wolves are considered to be one of the most common and widespread large carnivores in {P}leistocene {A}merica(1), yet relatively little is known about their evolution or extinction. {H}ere, to reconstruct the evolutionary history of dire wolves, we sequenced five genomes from sub-fossil remains dating from 13,000 to more than 50,000 years ago. {O}ur results indicate that although they were similar morphologically to the extant grey wolf, dire wolves were a highly divergent lineage that split from living canids around 5.7 million years ago. {I}n contrast to numerous examples of hybridization across {C}anidae(2,3), there is no evidence for gene flow between dire wolves and either {N}orth {A}merican grey wolves or coyotes. {T}his suggests that dire wolves evolved in isolation from the {P}leistocene ancestors of these species. {O}ur results also support an early {N}ew {W}orld origin of dire wolves, while the ancestors of grey wolves, coyotes and dholes evolved in {E}urasia and colonized {N}orth {A}merica only relatively recently. {D}ire wolves split from living canids around 5.7 million years ago and originated in the {N}ew {W}orld isolated from the ancestors of grey wolves and coyotes, which evolved in {E}urasia and colonized {N}orth {A}merica only relatively recently.},
