ngl the image of the ancient skeleton holding their puppy made me shed a tear
Man's best friend is also man's first friend.
Man's Oldest Friend
Dogs are humans first attempt at. Behavioral manipulation and genetic experimentation thru selective breeding. In my opinion , a smashing success.
As you can see in my photo, I have a Chihuahua. She's absolutely my closest companion, and I'm so happy she came into my life.
Is she missing an eye?
@@markschuler1511 yes, when she was rescued from an abandoned house she was nearly starved to death, and one eye was blind and infected. It had to be removed 😪
We have a chiweenie. Very loving and friendly dog. But she thinks she is a pit bull. I'm not sure she would be much help in a fight, but she would give üs a lot of warning. Lol
Someone else wrote “its more lightly dogs domesticated us”. I personally prefer them to people, the conversation is up to much but the vibes are better.
I saw a Coyote today at the centinela park here in L.A California and I was a little scared but all the fears went away from when I saw how the Coyote Interacted with other dogs and was playing with them and was friendly with the people. And I saw how people were petting the Coyote. So it reminded me of how people and Wolves came together to form a strong bond and that's how we ended up with dogs. A little different but seeing how I saw the Coyote today that's what it sorta reminded me of the story of man and dog
I'm sure Coyotes are notorious for killing children and small dogs no? I'm not sure if I'd consider them similar to pets?
@clairebarber6728 they do go after children and small dogs why? Because they're easier to kill
Coyotes are trash
Single coyotes notoriously act friendly in an attempt to lure a little one back to the pack. Aggression isn’t shown until you meet the pack. This is a wild comment, yo
when coyotes kill your pet dog or cat , you will tell a different tale...
So did wolves-dogs start to "domesticate" herds of reindeer and caribou, becoming the first pastoralists hundreds of thousands of years before the process of coevolution with humans even started? Did humans learn pastoralism from observing wolves-dogs that improved the quality of herds by culling the weak, following them as they migrated between seasonally optimal pastures?
That's one of the theories!
dogs are a subspecies of gray wolves they are basically wolves with some behavior and body size and proportion differences through selective breeding by humans. all dogs are wolves
@@blossom_generosty-imposssible!
First, not hundreds of thousand of years, at best a hundred thousand. Secondly, no, they were hunters not herders. The video over exaggerates and doesn’t explain properly how wolves hunt. And it was a theory.
Amazing work, keep doing what you're doing bro
Awesome video, your videos are crazy good quality.
Thank a lot mate, really means a lot :)
Extremely well done and interesting ❤
I really enjoyed this, thank you
Great video!!!
The first dogs probably looked like modern Spitz type dogs like Shibas, Akitas, Huskies, Malamutes, but I think their coloration was most like Shiba Inus as wild dogs that separate from dogs early on, such as the Canaan Dog, New Guinea Singing Dog, and the Dingo, tend to have this reddish coloration. The grey wolf has more grey coloration (hence the name), but the reddish coloration probably suited the lineage of dogs that led to dogs in their environment.
Loved this Thankyou
We didn’t domesticate dogs. They domesticated us.
Think that was only cats, no?
@@ancientyoke lol, can cats even be considered “domesticated”…
There is a popular theory that dogs showed us how to domesticate animals by domesticating themselves.
They hung around us and we learned that they were developing a symbiotic relationship with us.
@@dirtyoldbroad7583 Yes, I would consider a cat as a domesticated animal
@@dirtyoldbroad7583
Very well put.
And dogs helped us to domesicate herd animals with their natural herding instincts, first in hunting, then in corraling.
@@kinglyzard yes.
We learned a lot and advanced greatly thanks to dogs.
We owe them a lot.
4:20 Oh MY!
Slipped that in at the 4:20 mark - I see you Yoke! 😂
Or perhaps people often adopted orphaned wolf pups? Domestication is hastened if a puppy grows up trusting those around him in its formative stages.
Exactly. It makes total sense.
Actually no, have you ever owned a wolf or a wolf dog? Even if people “adopted” wolf pups real wolves behavior is completely different from dogs. The wolves would have ran off as soon as they were old enough. If an animal isn’t docile enough to actually decide to be around humans it won’t work. It was probably lone wolves, outcast from their packs, who were naturally more timid. Then we kept breeding the friendly ones.
Especially male wolves when they go through sexual maturity. It’s rough. I used to have a wolf
@@tcoon333 No it doesn't. It would have the opposite effect and prevent any possibility of practical domestication. The pups had to be carefully chosen and selectively bred or they'd just end up acting like wolves and be completely unable to be domesticated
How many animals have you domesticated? You sound pretty confident
Excellent
beautiful, thanks!
great video
What’s the name of the background music? Great vid!
Makes you wonder if there were ever cases of humans killing the adult wolves to get to the pups.
Perhaps :0
@@ancientyoke I wouldn't put it passed us to say the least.
The best explanation of domestication of dog is provided by Coppinger.
cool
Thanks.
I told my dog he has to listen and do what he’s told bc he’s been domesticated by me. He looked directly at me, woof-howled, then rolled over to demand a belly rub - to which I promptly obliged. Who’s the domesticated one in this relationship? I basically do whatever he says _all the time._
I’m usually sure that my dog has better life than I do… then again, I sometimes catch him eating cat poop. So, tf do I know?
Art source?
4:50 Aren't the Altai Mountains in Siberia, you said Serbia.
Apologies
No body really knows but Im sure one of this theories or a combanation of many may be the answer
Dogs are the best animals on earth better than most humans
I believe wolves followed our ancestors for scraps and in doing so built up confidence in the wolves to get close enough for us to realize that wolves can keep preditors away and/or we began to feed them out of curiosity n began following the humans building the relationship we have today
"who's a good boy??" :D
Can you imagine grilling out and a pack of wolves coming out of the woods to eat with you?
Pugs are awesome. I love all dogs, but pugs are extra.
Genetic analysis show that the domestic dog diverged from wolves 300 thousand years ago in the age of Neanderthals not modern humans
I like to think the first dogs looked like Corgis.
What if dogs domesticated us?
Most likely not the case
Didn‘t cats do that?
I think it was a joint effort
I can't get far into this because the background music is really annoying.
Good bois get treats.
Some still survive.
The Dogs of Our Ancestors
Only on eBay
With horrid noises ?
Get rid of the humming, annoying noise at the beginning! It started hurting my dogs and caused them to whimper and they stopped only when I forwarded the video.
should probably turn your tv down then XD
I think that fox, was domesticated by Neanderthal, and before wolves, but wolves came a long and were better for hunting.
Is there evidence that Neanderthal domesticated the fox??
Not as far as I'm aware. Foxes still seem to be wild animals so I think it's unlikely that this is true
It only takes 4 generations for foxes to become completely domesticated. But unless you want to eat mice, and persimmons all day... A fox is just a pet. A wolf can take down a deer!
It does not matter how many generations you breed a wolf.... It is still a wolf. They had to mix wolf with something else to get a dog. Fox are easy to domesticate. This is why fox is still fox no alteration was needed. Where dogs and wolves are no longer the same species.
Supposedly they found a cave man in a glacier.... And supposedly had a fox with him
Good video,, I'm a good dog unless you abuse me..🐾 lol
I SUSCRIBE!!!! this do not teach you in school
I cant understand him
Should be able to add subtitles mate :)
Good video but you need to enunciate more. You mumble a lot and it's hard to understand.
Thank you for the feedback
By nature we are fascinated with control. We HAVE to control our environments. It's not far fetched to consider that we simply domesticated whatever animals we could and dogs were just one of them. We just got lucky that in the process, they just happened to complement our lives in their own unique way... That's just my observation when looking back at how man operates.... Yes, maybe modern men operates much more differently than yesteryear, but our core at its most simplest has remained intact...
And lions, tigers, and bears may not have been domesticated, but not for any lack of trying or continual attempting throughout our history... Rome may have tried controlling them but just in the States alone you've got people with lions, tigers, and bears (oh my) in their freaking backyards, trying to exert some measure of control over them as opposed to just letting them live in the wild where they started from... Not saying they can't have genuine love for these animals, just saying that to this day, man is still taking animals that so do not belong in our environments (a lion.... In Ohio?) and purposefully inserting them into their very human lives...I feel that's what happened with dogs... It's just that dogs ended up bonding with us and intertwined their existence with ours in a uniquely harmonious relationship (for the most part... Horrible humans exist, too who abuse that harmony)
Even if this is true I don’t necessarily think it’s too wrong of us to do. We are the first and only species in history to accomplish anything beyond the requirements for living day to day. Our intelligence allowed us to influence nature to our advantage. And we’re really the only ones capable of doing it on such a scale in the first place. We see ourselves as separate from nature rather than a part/product of it. That’s such a funny human mentality that we are so different from nature and every single other species that we’re essentially alien to nature itself. For better or for worse we are just another product of evolution that became so much more successful at surviving we had time to stop putting our energy into just that and focus on other things. And look at how unbelievably far we’ve come.. It truly baffles me every time I think about it.
I only got to 7:48 before I had to stop...
Why’s that?
Maybe dogs domesticated humans.
That is definitely not the case. Dogs do the dirty work for humans in exchange for food, not vice versa
@@ancientyoke So you don’t understand irony.
WRONG............DOGS domesticated Humans !
No they didn’t, dogs do the dirty work for humans in exchange for food. Not vise versa, humans domesticated dogs
so all of these are wolves ??? dogs, foxes, jackals, coyotes
No?
if a dog is a wolf then what is a racoon dog, what's a dire "now a dog" ??? pretty sure its always been a dog and never has been a wolf???
🤦🏻
They are all dogs (except raccoon dogs) as they are in the canids family.
