Hello Bella’s world, today we’ll be looking at our friendships with animals. Humans have loved animals for millennia so we ended up domesticating them. However we didn’t just domesticate wolves we domesticated wild horses and livestock. Let’s dive in to the HISTORY of domestication!

History

Around 15,000 to 40,000 years ago a wolf found a human settlement. Probably smelling some meat or hearing their chants, intrigued by these unusual creatures the wolf decided to head in. Most humans (rightfully so) thought wolves were dangerous but a few felt bad for the wolf and gave it some meat. Soon the wolf brought its pack. Other packs caught on to the free food. Evolution realised that wolves hunting instincts weren’t as necessary. Soon dogs came through evolution. We began to breed different types of dogs, some better at hunting, others companions for noble people and others made to guard royal homes.

Hope you had fun learning about domestication. Tell me in the comments your favourite dog breed. Stay curious and have a frogtastical day!
