About this title

Synopsis

Offering a scientifically informed perspective on canines and their relations with humans, the authors take a close look at eight different types of dogs - household, village, livestock guarding, herding, sled pulling, pointing, retrieving and hound. They argue that dogs did not evolve directly from wolves, nor were they trained by early humans; instead they domesticated themselves to exploit a new ecological niche: Mesolithic village dumps. Tracing the evolution of today's breeds from these village dogs the authors show how characteristic shapes and behaviours - from pointing and baying to the sleek shapes of running dogs - arise from both genetic heritage and the environments in which pups are raised.
