Podcast The history of cats and dogs: who domesticated who?
Summary
The podcast discusses the domestication of cats and dogs, exploring the differences in their processes. Dogs, domesticated 15 to 40 thousand years ago, were actively selected by humans for useful traits, becoming dependent. Cats, in turn, approached humans about 9 thousand years ago, in search of food, in a more independent relationship. The discussion considers whether humans domesticated animals or vice versa, concluding that coexistence is mutually beneficial. The podcast ends with interesting facts about communication between humans and pets.
