alt Hacker NewsThe wiki article doesn't say domestication occurred roughly 14k years ago, it says at least 14k years ago, because that's the earliest definitive evidence of a domesticated dog. Here are the next two sentences from the wiki article:
"The remains of the Bonn–Oberkassel dog, buried alongside humans between 14,000 and 15,000 years ago, are the earliest to be conclusively identified as a domesticated dog.[9][7] Genetic studies show that dogs likely diverged from wolves between 27,000 and 40,000 years ago."
agreed. in one of the articles linked, they further summarize
"Dog ancestors diverged from modern wolf ancestors at least 27,000 years ago"
which is still compatible with the two diverged ancestries sharing a proto-canid ancestor from which proto-wolves and proto-dogs both were derived.
Interestingly, the article about Belgian prehistoric canid dna says the genetics are so varied that they don't form a clear group.
