A riveting look at how dog and humans became best friends, and the
first history of dog domestication to include insights from
indigenous peoples In this fascinating book, Raymond Pierotti and
Brandy Fogg change the narrative about how wolves became dogs and
in turn, humanity's best friend. Rather than describe how people
mastered and tamed an aggressive, dangerous species, the authors
describe coevolution and mutualism. Wolves, particularly ones
shunned by their packs, most likely initiated the relationship with
Paleolithic humans, forming bonds built on mutually recognized
skills and emotional capacity. This interdisciplinary study draws
on sources from evolutionary biology as well as tribal and
indigenous histories to produce an intelligent, insightful, and
often unexpected story of cooperative hunting, wolves protecting
camps, and wolf-human companionship. This fascinating assessment is
a must-read for anyone interested in human evolution, ecology,
animal behavior, anthropology, and the history of canine
domestication.
