Domestication: the new evolutionary phase of dogs
According to a study led by Brian Hareprofessor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University, and Vanessa Woodsmanager of the Duke Puppy Kindergarten program, modern dogs are showing biological adaptations that allow them to better fit into today’s world. The results indicate that dogs, especially trained as service animalsare developing characteristics that prepare them for life in the 21st centurymarking what could be a third wave of domestication.
A key point of the Hare and Woods study is the comparison between domestic dogs and service dogs. The latter, trained to help people with disabilities, are not only more obedient, but also show a higher level of social cognitionl. Are very friendly and, they have a natural inclination towards human interactions. This trait could be a sign of how artificial selection is forming a new generation of dogs.
