Based on claims that dogs are less aggressive and show more sophisticated socio-cognitive skills compared with wolves, dog domestication has been invoked to support the idea that humans underwent a similar 'self-domestication' process. Here, we review studies on wolf-dog differences and conclude ...
compared with the effort of washing clothes --- at least in my husband's home, perhaps all across Romania. I, of course, having just met them, are fully clothed. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry. On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large...
Although the domestic dog’s origin is still unclear, this lineage is believed to have been domesticated from an extinct population of gray wolves, which is expected to be more closely related to dogs than to other populations of gray wolves. Here, we se
Wolves and dogs share much of the same genetics, so much so thatwolves can be bred to dogsand produce viable wolf-dog hybrid offspring which can themselves produce offspring. Wolves and dogs are genetically 98.8 percent identical. Depending on the breed, some dogs share a majority of wolf-lik...
D From an early age, dogs win wolves at communicating with and figuring out cues(暗示) from humans. It's true even when the dogs have had less exposure(接触) to people. Compared with human-raised wolf pups(幼崽), dog puppies that had limited exposure to people were still 30times as ...
3.What did Frantz and his colleagues do to obtain the finding?A) They analyzed the DNA and genes of ancient and modern dogs.B) They studied leftovers thrown around wolves’ settlements.C) They compared the family tree of wolves with that of dogs....
dogs, showed signs of higher-level stress and contact seeking behaviour, compared to when an unfamiliar person left them. They also used their handler as a secure base, suggesting that the ability to form interspecific social bonds could have been present already in the common ancestor of dogs ...
The Effect of Domestication on Inhibitory Control: Wolves and Dogs Compared Inhibitory control i.e. blocking an impulsive or prepotent response in favour of a more appropriate alternative, has been suggested to play an important ro... MP Sarah,V Zsófia,R Friederike,... - 《Plos One》 被引...
Here are two new studiesthat shed light on the social systems of the domestic dog, and might help some of us decide what we need to be feeding our dogs. First,Erik Axelsson and colleaguescompared the genes of wolves and domestic dogs and found some very interesting differences. One of the...
This highlights the potential for wolves to form attachment to humans, but simultaneously raises the question if this attachment weakens over time in wolves compared to dogs. Here we used the Strange Situation Test (SST) to investigate attachment behaviour expressed in hand-reared wolves and dogs ...
