The Common Theory Of The Dog

When the question of how some animals ended up to be domesticated is raised, dog, which was the first domesticated animal, fascinate scientists. Debates revolve around the issues of “intentionality" — human choice animal to domesticate— and "self-domestication," — animals choice to be domesticated. How you address these issues depends on your knowledge on how domesticated animals changed morphologically and physiologically. Domestication, which was long and complex process, natural selection and artificial selection, may both have functioned at same and different or times. Again, intentionality overlooks significant questions such as what do morphology,

Dogs were not always how they are today. Almost 35,000 years ago, they were wolves. Humans saw most wolves as a threat. Even though they saw each other as enemies, there was a point where they helped each other. This is what helped them evolve. It all started when wolves went to human camps to devour some scraps of food. Because of this, the wolves were healthy and had many pups. The pups inherited the parents' habit of snacking on leftovers. This cycle repeated over and over. Wolves were willing to get closer to people. Humans soon realized that wolves make very good guards because they protected the humans from many dangerous animals. As a result, wolves living near the humans started to change.

    Dogs have been domesticated for over 10,000 years. Food from the humans would bring the dogs to them, and the dogs would bark at predators when they came so the people started to feed the dogs to keep them around. In the 1’st century AD in China Roman mosaics show evidence of the present day Pekingese and Roman ladies also had lap dogs. They believe the dogs warmth cures stomach aches. The earliest evidence of any domesticated dog is a jawbone found in Iraq in a cave about 12,000 years ago. We know it is a jawbone of a dog because a jawbone of a wolf is smaller and the teeth is smaller.

The domestic dog has to be one of the most unique animals that the human had ever bred. All dogs were formed differently and for separate reasons; whether it be for their looks or for their personal attributes, the dog has been evolved around humans and yet many breeds were created by humans themselves. I also believe that having a dog is a necessity to having a balanced life, just how Cesar Millan was quoted on the Brainy Quote web page “The dog can only become what's in your bubble. The dog is imitating the energy that is in your bubble. You are the source, the feast of energy. If you feel anxious, the dog becomes anxious with you. If you become nervous, the dog wakes up nervous with you”. Your dog runs off of your actions and emotions

Why did dogs stay by our sides for thousands of years? Dogs were being used for hunting. Then time passes by and dogs are being used as pets. Human show dogs a lot of love and that make dogs change. If it was not for human's dogs wouldn't exist because they would still be wolves. Dogs will protect you from harmful animals in the forest. The relationship between dogs and humans has changed over time because wolves became dogs and dogs became pets.

There are a lot of discussions about whether wolves and dogs belong to the same species or not. Recently dogs were reclassified from “canis familiaris” to “canis lupus familiaris” what means they are considered as a sub-species of the wolf species “canis lupus”. However, they are extremely close relatives and genetic studies prove that both share a common ancestry. We can consider a dog like tamed or domesticated form of a wolf.

For millions of years dogs have remained a constant companion of man. Bred from the aggressive and formidable Gray Wolf tens of thousands of years ago the domestic dog now lives in many homes across the world. Where in the far distant past the domestic dog was bred as a guard animal, a beast of burden, and even a food source the dogs of today are bred for a far more endearing purpose-companionship and love. Finding a pet dog that is more of a joy than a chore is necessary when asking: How much is that puppy in the window?

I previously believed that humans had domesticated dogs by taking wolf pups and raising them with their families. Over time I had thought that wolves naturally became friendly and evolved into dogs down the line. However, this process would not even be domestication, in fact this would be known as taming. As Hare states domestication is a process in which “genetic modifications resulting in behavioral, morphological and physical changes” occur, these changes need to be “passed down to the next generation.” When looking at Hare’s experiment with foxes, the foxes he worked with had the traits of dogs but were tamed not

I think that dogs came from all over. Like the German Shepard, must have come from Germany. The American Bulldog came from North America, and the Boxer came from Munich France. So I think all the dogs came from all around the world. Different breeds have different advantages like the German Shepherd is more aggressive than the American Bulldog. The American Bulldog is cuter than the Boxer. The Boxer is cleaner than the German Shepherd. I think every dog comes from different places because they all have different traits and personalities based on their owners and skills. Each dog came from their own lands because of their names, traits, or lifestyles.

Through Europe during early 1900s, dogs were being bred to sustain characteristics that allowed reinforced their jobs of herding animals.

The origins of the breed came from various sheep dogs found in Germany during the last century. In the second half of the 19th century, dog breed fanciers began to fix the type of sheep dog found in Germany that would eventually form the basis of the modern

One of the great questions of humanity has always been where did we come from, how did we get here, and where are we headed? There are entire fields of science dedicated to answering this question. Veterinarians and geneticists worldwide are working to provide research that could lead to an answer to this question. Recently, a study was published discussing the genetic heritage of Fonni’s dogs. This breed originated on the island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea. Sardinia is the target of many genetic studies due to its geographical and genetic isolation. The aim of the study was to trace the genetic heritage of the Fonni’s dog. Through this study, researchers found that the Fonni’s heritage could be traced to breeds commonly found in areas where Sardinia’s human population migrated from. Studies like this can create a greater understanding of human and animal history by finding parallels in the genetic evidence pointing to where and why humanity was there. For example, a scholar or historian studying an ancient civilization poses the question: Was the society here hunter-gatherer, or sheep farmers? The answer could be found by asking another question: Did they have a hunting type dog, or a shepherd type dog? Human and dog have been partners in hunting and agriculture since the dawn of

In the beginning dogs weren’t dogs, they were wolves. Back then Wolves were a threat to humans. But soon enough dogs started to venture into human camps. They eventually started to come back multiple times because the humans would give them bountiful food. Eventually wolves and humans became friends.

Dogs were the first animal, and the only large carnivore, to be domesticated. in both appearance and in both Dogs are not tame wolves, but how they became these unique companions to people is still being debated.

A. Dogs were starting to get domesticated around 14,000 years ago (Vanacore). The places the
