Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A riveting look at how dog and humans became best friends, and the first history of dog domestication to include insights from indigenous peoplesIn this fascinating book, Raymond Pierotti and Brandy Fogg change the narrative about how wolves became dogs and in turn, humanitys 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 wolfhuman companionship. This fascinating assessment is a mustread for anyone interested in human evolution, ecology, animal behavior, anthropology, and the history of canine domestication.
