We are very much human in the sense that we are now. Like 50,000 years ago, you could take somebody and put them through school and they could do the SAT just fine. They could read Shakespeare, like the people that were painting all the caves in France and stuff. So we were human by then. And when we were interacting with dogs, I don't think there's been enough time to fully co-evolve.

But there are some like biological adaptations that like dogs have picked up or we've bred into them that they have definitely co-evolved with humans, to say the least. And there are certain things like dogs sleeping near you does calm you down, helps you sleep better. Just petting a dog can lower your heart rate kind of stuff. So that counts.

Some people will comment, like when I post a video of me petting my dog, that like, he's uncomfortable. You should stop or like read X, Y, and Z sign. But that's just my dog. But other times he'll like paw at me to keep doing it. So I guess that's the case. And then my beagle and my lab, especially my lab, just like, if you weren't petting her, it was like distraught. So, yeah.

I've never seen too many wolves up close or wolves 20,000 years ago, but apparently wolves don't bark. They will when they're playing and stuff like that, but they don't bark in the sense that dogs do as their form of communication. And that was certainly bred in dogs as a warning bark probably first or to indicate there's an animal when you're hunting, but also... Just as a communicate.

Because I know cats meow more around humans. So it's probably the same thing. If they don't meow so much in the wild, they just do it to get our attention.

Yeah. And it's also cool because cats are the same thing. They're in the order carnivora. They're a social predator the same way. And they just... Like, we all interact so, like, similarly in that sense.

I can say... Like anecdotally with my dog, he won't let me know when he's in pain and shepherds are notorious for being whiny. And then I know for a fact, dogs in the past have like skeletal trauma, either from being kicked or, you know, kicked out of camp or it's hard to tell if it was a fight with another dog or they got gored by a, you know, a boar or something.
