why dogs are man's best friend?why dogs are best companion?
Dogs are trustworthy, we know this. But according to the new study, they are also our best friends.
American scientists have discovered that dogs have special genetic properties of friendship.
Dogs have evolved from wolves. Research found that dogs started living in the herd after thousands of years of development process. For this reason, they started coming closer to humans as well.Dogs understand human emotions
Dr. Bridget Vonholt of Princeton University says that during this research, she found genetic variation in dogs and wolves. While the friendship between cats and other pets was found to be similar.
Researchers tested the behavior of sails dogs and wolves separately, testing their problem-solving ability and interacting with people.
Researchers found that wolves and dogs have the same ability to solve a problem, but dogs proved to be faster in friendship with someone.
Dogs easily go to an unfamiliar while wolves remain isolated in this case.
Co-researcher of this research and Dr. Elaine Ostrender of National Institute of Health said that through this research, it will also help to understand the problems encountered in human behavior.
The process of raising wolves as dogs started 20,000 to 40,000 years ago. This research also tells how over time, the qualities of friendship developed within wolves and today they have become the best friends of humans as dogs. This study is originally published in the journal Science Advances.
