Dogs and Humans: A 30,000-Year Friendship (ft. MinuteEarth)

Are you more of a cat person? Follow me to MinuteEarth to discover the origin of our feline friends! https://youtu.be/LWB0-tGwb_E ↓↓↓More info and sources below ↓↓↓ Of all the species that humans have domesticated, dogs are our oldest animal friends. But how did a group of wolves become the furry pup at the end of the bed? New research is finally unlocking the paw-in-hand evolution of dogs and humans. In this episode we’re answering one big question: Did we domesticate dogs, or did dogs domesticate us? Special thanks to our friends from MinuteEarth! ----------- REFERENCES: Frantz, Laurent AF, et al. "Genomic and archaeological evidence suggest a dual origin of domestic dogs."

1. The story of dogs? It's an interesting tail.
   
   Everyone head over to MinuteEarth and subscribe!
2. I want 3 Pomeranian dogs but my mom won't let me get any so I have to wait till I grow up ugh I can't wait that long for a FREAKING POMERANIAN!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
3. pugs are bezt
4. Aw man. Imagine being a human 10,00 years ago and coming to the point where you literally HAVE to kill your beloved pup
5. I have a husky but it's eyes are both light blue can anyone tell me why?
6. 2:40 You can't get DNA from fossils. Fossils have no organic material, it has all been replaced by inorganic material. That's what makes it a fossil. Did you just mean ancient remains? Were you just trying to sound cool? That's literally 1st grader level science you are getting wrong.
7. 3:32 when do they adopt you!
8. I really wish they had talked about chihuahuas. Since they originated from south and central america and they look very different from other dogs I've always wondered if they had a separate split from wolves than other dogs, like perhaps they came from something that looked more like a fennec fox.
9. Hi Joe can you do collaboration with "Life Noggin"
10. How I see dogs: They love you, help catch criminmals, and many other useful jobs, and will always stay at your sideHow I see cats: You love them, they hate you, you feed them, they sleep......ALL DAY, you say sit, they kill something and bring it to you, ON YOUR WHITE CARPET!!
11. Both
12. So if all domestic dogs are the same species how do breeds differ?
13. Doge (Canis memeus), the newest species of dog, was discovered within the past decade.
14. Romulus and Remus XD
15. I ❤️ DOGS
16. I enjoy cats, but there is something about dogs and me that just clicks. I feel like if I was alone in the world I would be ok, as long as I had some dogs with me. Its mutual respect. I never get that feeling from cats, because they dont need you. You are just a convenience. Dogs dont either, but they WANT to be with you.
17. nice slowdown intro
18. Joe has the best puns <3
19. Your videos are really useful. coming directly to the point.. Can You Make a Video on What is Tachyons? and Is anything Faster than Light? Hoping that You will notice this Comment. Waiting for Your Reply. Thank You.. It's Okay To be Smart crew.
20. What about the 2000 plus years of communication via the domestication of the pigeon?
