what's that documentary that's pretty much about how dope dogges are and how mankind wouldn't have made it this far without them

Well, we wouldn't have. They're the only other animal as capable of marathons as we are, they were our hunting partners and shared the spoils.

Hell, look at your dog when it tries to get you to run. They remember.

This is really awesome but I wonder about the accuracy of this:

quote:

In short, the HWD is a “missing link” and foundational species with a key primary position in the evolutionary trajectory of all canids, especially those of Asian origins; it represents canids in a pristine, prototype state before and as canids began being domesticated.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that the HWD represents the end result of a proto-canid after 6,000 more years of natural selection? Especially if they're descendants of a small population that came from somewhere else, the bottleneck effect is likely to have changed them significantly from their ancestors.

I mean, it's still cool, but I side-eye the "living fossil" claim.

You're probably right, yeah.

I don't understand what this author is getting at because this is still a C. lupus subspecies and there are far more basal canids out there than that (e.g. all foxes, tanukis)

It's the other way around; for these dogs, the bottleneck effect means that there would have been relatively little genetic variation among them at the time when they became isolated in that environment. Additionally, I would suppose that, since the same might be true of many other species in that environment, they may not have had the stimulus to adapt as rapidly as dogs elsewhere. Because of this, although they aren't the exact same dogs as however long ago, they probably haven't changed very much.

What is the best method of performing tummy rubs? I open palm rub with occasional scritches and every once in a while blow a raspberry.
