Yeah, there's cultures where like there's endocannibalism where like you eat people within your group or exocannibalism is eating people outside of your group. But when you're eating within your group, it's kind of you can imagine like You want that person to be part of you kind of thing. And that's something that happens in different tribal cultures.

And I imagine that's probably what happened with dogs. Because a lot of dogs are... Archaeologically, when you find they were kind of in their prime, maybe a little older. So maybe they were a good hunting dog and they were eaten in that sense. Can't tell exactly if all of them are eaten. It's like only if the cut marks show up on the bones. But...

I know in definitely indigenous cultures, some puppies are eaten, or I think in Mexico culture, for sure, dogs were eaten out of respect for their sacrifice for people and things like that.

I would study stone tools or things like that or projectile weapons and stuff, but dogs are such a versatile tool. You can literally code by breeding them to do different tasks. Wow. Yeah, I find that so cool. The early tasks of hunting and guarding and stuff like that, but then if you think about... Salukis or greyhounds are meant for speed and racing, and then dachshunds burrow into stuff.

Huskies are a lot bigger to pull sleds and have that load-bearing. And then there's livestock guardian dogs, which are bigger than wolves because they have to fight wolves. That would appear, to my knowledge, after the Neolithic. There's a lot of that. After 10,000 years of them being around, you'll start seeing more...

Diverse breeds, though the standard dog probably would have looked like a dingo-like thing with that standard yellow coat. Not a wolf, but not a dog. If you think of ancient Mexico, they had the Chihuahua, the Shillet's Quintly, all sorts of different dogs. But the modern breeds we have is definitely like a Victorian era thing where they became a status symbol.
