Can someone tell me what Darwin theory is? Is it related to thermodynamics? Does it have something to do with the way a foot leaves an impression in a mud brick?

4000 thousand years ago?

You mean 4 million years ago?

Even our oldest common ancestors were only 2.2-2.5 million years ago. Homo sapiens is only about 250,000 years ago, and we basically instantly domesticated dogs. We've had dogs for 200,000 years.

op was making a joke about 4000 x1000 = 4000000

The dog is a wolf-like canid.[7][8][9] The genetic divergence between the dog's ancestor and modern wolves occurred between 40,000 and 30,000 years ago, just before or during the Last Glacial Maximum[2][1] (20,000–27,000 years ago). This timespan represents the upper time-limit for the commencement of domestication because it is the time of divergence but not the time of domestication, which occurred later.

We domesticated them roughly twice as far back as we domesticated cats (12,000y). Cats became domesticated alongside the use of agriculture. Cats started spending time around humans because agriculture brought prey for them (rodents, etc) to places where humans resided.
