Over the last decades dogs have become
one of the most popular species in comparative psychology. One reason
for that is dogs unique evolutionary history. Domestication shaped
wolves into
dogs and transformed both their behavior and their anatomy. Here I will
show how dogs have adapted to the human environment by humans
consciously or unconsciously selecting dogs to fit in.
