I have to give a plug for our Maltipoo puppy, who relishes chasing his tail around in circles as shown on this YouTube clip:

No, dog domesticated man.
They say a dog is man’s best friend. If you spell dog backwards you get God.

There’s also genetic evidence man domesticted the dog 100,000 years ago: http://www.workingdogweb.com/DogOrigins.htm. If true it would mean man and dog literally evolved together. It’s no wonder they play us like violins. Obie Wan has been my faithful companion for 7 years. He protects me day and night and is better company than most humans I know. |
Adam and Eve packed up their stuff, dog in tow, and left the garden.
I believe most of us dog owners knew intuitively that 5,000 years had to be wrong.
It's like knowing, intuitively that man had language, tools, shelter etc. more that 5,000 years.
It's arguable that dogs enabled man to truly civilize and subdue the planet.
Before them we had no eyes, ears or noses. We were too slow.
With them we became the Alpha Predator and were no longer prey to any beast.
A fundamental transition point in human development.
Shore, Shirley! The Earth is 6,245 years old (last October), and dogs are 27,000 years older!
“Essentially, wolves have long thin snouts and their teeth are not crowded, and domestication results in this shortening of the snout and widening of the jaws and crowding of the teeth.”
Much as I believe dog domestication is very ancient (older than 33k bp), this statement is simply not true. There are wolf studies showing these characteristics in the wild.
