I read the first paragraph, does that count? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You should at least read the bit at the very end too! Beware of Old Wive's Tales. And you better watch what your younger wives are saying too. |

Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | I read an interesting article about an experiment to see what happens when wolves are raised by people. Dogs and wolves share a rather recent common ancestor, less then 50,000 years ago. It turns out a wolf pup raised by humans will bond and make a long-term attachment with their human, but not to the extent and degree a dog does. That is to say the wolf won't grow dependent, emotionally or physically, on their human. the grown wolf will be glad to see them and will greet them as one of the pack, but won't go into a frenzy of joy, nor will they whine or mope when their human is away. This squares well with the notion that dogs stay childlike all their lives. it also shows where some dog traits come from. I wonder if we could breed wolves selectively to get a new kind of dog. This has been done with foxes, BTW, and it takes surprisingly few generations. Not that we need to, but out of mere curiosity. It might also validate, but not prove, some hypotheses about how dogs were domesticated. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Where do you think dogs came from. Domesticating wolf pups and then breeding them. Different breeds come from taking an oddball pup and breeding with another oddball. Thousands of years later we have all these different breeds that have a DNA that's mostly wolf. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
