It's kind of interesting to think about the early relation of people with wolves. I talk about that in A Woman Among Wolves, my book, is there was a couple of paleontologists or sociologists that speculated, and I can't say if their theory is correct or not, but they speculated that when people were still living in caves and having spears and atlatls, that they would watch.
So people were living in a family group in a pack. The wolves were living in a family group or a pack. They would watch the wolves chasing through a herd of whatever animal they were at that time, depending on where they lived. And eventually... Getting one tired enough, or maybe it was a cripple had a bad language. They would surround it and eventually kill it.

And then they speculate that the humans would learn that, you know what, we can go up to that killed oryx or whatever they had just killed, the primitive horse. And just drive those wolves away. We got tools. We can kill the wolves if we have to. So then it changed to where maybe those wolves had come around when the animal was cornered, but not dead.

And the humans would come in and do the final blows and drive the wolves away and take what meat they wanted and then leave. And the wolves could then come in and get the spoils of all the work that they had done that the humans had taken. And this is their theory, that there was this relationship between

Just because it's a brutal world, not synergy and not altruistic and not, oh, aren't this cute? Just like, hey, people, look at those wolves got an animal, a camel cornered over there. Let's go kill it. Take what we need. Wolves would come in. And that that sort of began potentially the process of wolves and people beginning to interact.
