A Brief History of Dogs - How We Domesticated Dogs

Dogs are human's best friend. They're loyal, hard-working, and eager to please. But how did they get that way? Short answer: Humans. Come along on the journey from prehistoric wolf to portable purse-dogs, as we look at our finest achievement -- the invention of dogs!

Interesting. A breed/classification of dogs found in the Philippines called ASPIN ("Asong Pinoy" literally "Philippine Dog" in English) is a combination of many varieties and breeds of dog. This resulted in a breed that has a very strong immune system with no health issues at all. It feels like it's being bred back to its ancestors somehow.

Dogs didn't evolve from the common ancestor of wolves and dogs. But they evolved from the grey wolf itself. Coming to that, the grey wolf itself consists of multiple subspecies. Dogs evolved from one of the grey wolf subspecies populations that later became extinct.

[@emptyrolloftolietpaper1757]

Then that means they DID come from wolves idiot

[@blobbertmcblob4888]

Eh, not exactly. Dogs as we know them may have evolved from modern gray wolves, but the very first ones didn't. Dogs (and cats) have been domesticated multiple times.

It is actually really interesting how much we put up with for dogs. A species evolved to excel at hijacking our nurturing instincts. People are literally giving their dogs manicures and professional shampoos, their diets better than some humans...with literally no work required.

I got my first dog about a year ago. Always been a cat person. Now I can't picture life without one. I have a Pembroke Corgi and just can't believe how smart and intuitive he is. I once took him free walking at night. Pretty much just told him to go anywhere and I'll follow him. He found a couple stray cats to chase, but eventually walked right to the place where we'd run around for exercise. Then hopped around and barked at me. I get it now. I really get it.

[@furrystuffwithbolt9013]

Same but with cats

[@187btokes9]

IMO one of the craziest shit humans ever did was domesticate dogs and I believe that only because the humans of that time who figured out selective breeding did not necessarily even understand how genes and trait probabilities worked at the time. Yes as a species we have done WAY crazier shit since then, but a lot of times these inventors and inventors had data and research to guide them. Crazy to me that so long ago people figured out how to manipulate an entire species fate lol
