Probably not, unless it was in the tundra, and it was wintertime, they could freeze it. But the relationship of, I mean, there's many dates that said about when people domesticated dogs, and it varies a lot, but I think there's some consensus 30,000, 35,000 years ago. Wow. Wow, was that long ago? Long ago. I didn't know that. And you can Google it, Jamie. I thought it was like 10,000.

No, because it happened significantly before we began domesticating livestock. So what I'm saying is there wasn't a conflict base. Resources were abundant. There wasn't protection of our livestock. There wasn't this and that. And eventually people took โ when livestock became a thing โ Then eventually people would take a wolf-like cane and a dog that we domesticated.

And then I find it interesting to train it to keep the wolves, their wild cousins, away from the livestock. Talk about... Wow. Crazy.

Humans are so creative with what they can do. And dogs are so plastic. I mean, you take a wolf and you put a lot of pressure on it and eventually you come up with a golden retriever and a griffon and a poodle because they have a lot of domestic.

They have a lot of plasticity genetically, morphologically, behaviorally that I don't think a lot of the other species have or would show up when we try to domesticate them. That's just my theory.
