As The Wolves Became The Best Friend Of Man

As the wolves became the best friend of man

The story tells that domestic dogs are an evolution of the wolves that came into contact with European hunters between 18.800 and 32.100 years ago. While there is no knowledge about the details of this evolution, it is estimated that the first domestic dog was a hunter, it had a sharp sense of smell and sight. Over the years, humans were creating a wide variety of breeds that we can see today, some of them adapted to fulfill functions of cattle and guardians of livestock, others for social and company purposes.

Just as some believe that the wolves were domesticated 10,000 years ago and others 30 thousand ago, the doubt arises about the place where it occurred. Some claim that it happened in Europe, others could swear that it was in the Middle East.

The hunters would have been the ones who achieved an active domestication, but the most resonant story says that the wolves have made it alone rummaging between corpses left by the human hunters.

The wolves looked close to the fires, this closed them closer and more to the human being to become a permanent partner.

Many thousands of years ago, somewhere in western Eurasia, humans domesticated the gray wolves. The same happened independently, far in the east.

At this time, there were two groups of different dogs and separated by their habitat. Near the Bronze Age, some of the oriental dogs emigrated to the west along with their humans, separating from their classmates confined in their home and creating a deep division.

While humans initially did not obtain any benefit of this process, over time they would have developed some kind of symbiotic relationship, eventually evolving towards the dogs we see today.

Therefore, humans have been linked to canines for entire centuries, and without a doubt the reasons have been good. A dog is able to understand what the human being says, but they are also genetically predisposed to be extroverted. Dogs are the ideal company that every human being wants to have, are able to reduce the concerns of their owners and make them feel more safe. Creating a symbiotic relationship in which the human in turn takes care of him, gives him affection and feeds him. A long time has elapsed since the first domestic dog to today’s dogs, but there is no doubt that this animal gives pure love without asking anything in return. He does not judge or care if you have had a bad day, he is just happy to see you and have you by his side.
