- How and when did wild wolves turn into domestic pets? Science tells us that humans were behind the domestication of what is now man’s best friend-but the timeline of the transformation has always been mysterious. In this video, Atlantic science writer Ed Yong explains the surprising origin of dogs in light of new research.

Every time i see a chihuahua i think “damn we did that to a wolf”
@WithAStick AngryWhiteMan They barely even have a memory, they'll just get eaten pretty much instantly in the ocean. Sad as it seems, theyre just food, you can argue its better since we keep them safe and fulfill their needs, they can just chill and play with your hands and the toys you give em :p
Lol
Its said that Chihuahuas are actually desendants of foxes
I think the same whenever I see a pug. How the f*ck did we do that?
@@IXLDGOLD Chihuahuas are literally bred for food.
Wolves become pugs?
Maybe pugs is just a dog that hit a wall very hard
Screw you, Pugs are awesome!
Yes, due to thousands of years of incestuous breeding to get the look they wanted. Never get pugs. We've destroyed that breed, don't support that shit.
Stephanie E pugs are a genetic disaster. They’re not healthy either
@@Spikes_cat lmao you dumb fck they are literally suffering and have many problems because they are inbred just like you
Everyone stfu
Thanks to everyone who noticed that our video was stolen and reposted! The other video has since been taken down.
Or have they dogmesticated us....
Cats did but definitely not dogs
@Paul Matthew I agree with you.
Can you hear me Major Tom? dogs did it, cats no they came around later than dogs
Paul Mathew you bring up a great point, what if we domesticated each other? need more food for our dogs we learned how to farm, and cook that changed the wolfs and us, and what if 5e nicer the dogs got the nicer we got?
We domesticated each other, cats domesticated themselves.
That's why all dogs go: "wolf wolf!!"
It wasnt grey wolves that were domesticated it's a separate now extinct species of wolf.
Yes, It’s called the Taimyr. Grey wolves today and domesticated dogs have this common ancestor in the Canis genus, but dogs didn’t directly come from wolves.
canine...
Allen Jones I’m sure there were many different wolves there were tamed, domesticated, and bred
*subspecies
@@carenmendoza5869 So what did they come from
The animator is beyond fantastic. Give Jackie Lay a raise!!
Those ancient wolves are different from modern wolves
Really wonderful animation to briefly explain the origin of dogs! I was aware dogs were the oldest (and on-going) eugenics experiments by humans, but never gave much thought to the origin of it. Really neat to see the use of fossil evidence coming into play.
I was sitting with my dog CeCe while watching this...I started petting her and she smiled. I'm so happy now ;w;
50, 000 millions ago : **a very large and ferocious dogs**
Present day Philippines : **a shih tzu**
I've never had a dog (or any other pets for that matter), but the origin of dogs is interesting.
Aw, cute animations!
thanks this vid gave me info and lots of it for a school project
Someone reposted the video, and it got to the front page of reddit :(
You've had your video stolen and posted on another channel and already has twice as much views
Dr. Sloth link?
Dr. Sloth what channel?
Hut two three four.
MyLifeForAuir87 wtf is that?
I hate when people use the term "we domesticated wolves to dogs" It is not what's happened. It was co-evolution, no intentional human actions initiated it. (And by a definition of "domestication", dogs and humans domesticated each other as well)
rskcdy but it wasn't evolution. 18,000 years is to short a time for any genuine evolutionary changes to happen. It was simply a case of selective breeding. Humans are doing this now. There have been groups of foxes co-domesticated, one group to be friendly and one to remain naturally aggressive. Within 3 generations, the friendly group of foxes was already showing significant changes and acting well, like dogs. It's possible to do this with any animal with a short life span. The only reason animals like elephants haven't been domesticated is due to their extremely long life spans, pregnancy time, and how long it takes for them to become sexually mature. Humans are pretty good at domestication. Our ancestors mastered it.
Evolution is not something that only happens in millions of years, it happens day by day, moment by moment.
And don't mix the selective breeding, which happened after the domestication.
The Beljajev experiment corroborates my point as well (and it was more like 8 generations, but thats not the point :) ). It happened intentionally in a very short period of time, with very serious genetical changes, wolves had more time to "become" dogs, non-intentionally, but somehow forced. Grey wolves had two chances to survive with the new competitor, pre-humans: evade them or scavange from their waste. That was the force that accelerated the evolution of dogs. The population of wolves that "choose" to scavage, went closer and closer to human camps, only those could survive, who was neither afraid, nor aggressive towards humans. And humans with these pre-dogs around their camps had some big advantages: if something bad happened in the middle of the night, they woke up faster, because the wolves alerted them (unintentionally, of course, it was not an intentional companionship back then)
And the two species slowly started to realize that they are better together than alone.
Only after that breeding became something intentional.
If you are interested in the topic, I reccomend you Brian Hares works, or to speak for my country Adam Miklosi or Vilmos Csanyi.
@@rotodexthepaleontologist2267 You sound like you read 'Guns, Germs and Steal'.
rskcdy domestication is a form of selective breeding
Nicholas Rickhoff they are descendent from a earlier wolf, the wolf was late enough though to be consider a wolf, this wolf separated though into today’s wolfs and dogs, and no it’s not like that, as we split at a certain point when they where not chimps nor humans, it was a different species that split and evolved into two other species.
really nice vidio
funny my dog came up to me while I was watching this
Can you do “the origin of cats” please? I am a cat fan and am with my 300000 cats.
You can’t just say wolfs transformed into all the different breeds
love it
Yeah dogs!!!!!!
Anyone got that outright music?
Edit: outro music
So...where did wolves come from?
jesus pointed his finger and they appeared from nothing out of thin air
Evolution
Dogs were also domesticated in the Americas. And likely other places as well. Anthropologists are the experts on canine origins.
That's fine and dandy but this video leaves out the other canines that were undoubtedly the reason for the variety of dogs today. By other canines I mean foxes, jackals, coyotes, dingos, hyenas and other dog-like mammals ALL coming together over thousands of years to bring us the likes of the Great Dane and the Chihuahua. The diversity of dominant and recessive genes in the canine gene pool is extremely large giving rise to thousands of different breeds and that is by DESIGN. The Ultimate Designer made it that way out of LOVE for us (and the dog) to give us such pleasurable and humorous breeds as the pug, Basset hound and the Afghan. And though it's not recorded within the pages of Holy Writ, it may very well have gone something like this: "let us create dogs for the man: friendly, cute, loveable, intelligent companions for mankind that would bridge the gap between the fearful animals and mankind while being loyal to him like no other, bringing him comfort, friendship, love, warmth and gratitude, being thankful to the man, protecting him and following him wherever he goes watching over him as he sleeps caring more for him than for his own safety, drawing near to him and nudging his hand for affection the man and dog will come together in a bond like no other and they will bring each other joy, love, peace, safety and contentment."
you are the only person who commented who clicked into that. the wolf was mixed with other k-9 families.
hyenas* are not canines
@@Invisus_Letum Hyenadae are most certainly dog like and it is only the consensus of evolutionary science (a crock) that says that they are not canine. Any 5 year old could look at a Hyena and see the dog similarities. Science, especially 21st century science based on Darwinism is false. Not all science is bad and I am not against science, it was originally set up as a means to learn the truth of our origins, our environment and our well being. It has become a club, willing to bend logic to conform to a religion; Darwinism.
so you know better than everyone else? try getting out more jagoff
@@Invisus_Letum just because many people believe something doesn’t make it true. Did you ever actually look at the evidence against Darwinism in this age? I have: very closely.
How can I breed a dog back to a wolf?
512 Clothing and Perfumes dingo is reversal of that
Well if you take a husky, german shepherd, a little collie, and a small percentage of various other breeds you'll make a Tamaskan, which is very similar in appearence to a wolf.
I don't know if it's possible to breed them back as the genes carried by wolves have been beaten to a pulp by domestication.
toast ain’t never gonna be bread again
512 In Style You can’t
Okay but this still doesn't explain how wolves became pugs or chihuahuas...
Exactly. It isn't even possible they evolved from wolves it would have had to be a common ancestor. If dogs evolved directly from wolves there literally couldn't be any wolves today
Selective breeding
human breeders are stupid
they had stupid ideas
And so the video ends inconclusively
😎Doggy style presumably 😌I think there's no other way😁
Therefore, dogs are the best animal.
Watch the movie "Alpha"
Are all dogs really descendants of grey wolves ? Or only of grey wolves ? 'Cause some of them look sooooo different than wolves.
I own only a 5-month aged Maltese Puppy
Failed to mention how people killed the aggressive ones and bred the nice ones
Such a sad story
Sean Sheckles one could say it was killed or be killed
My dog is a original chihuahua 🐕
The origin of wolves?
1:13
but if humans are the one who transformed wolfs to dogs what about the wild African dogs?
période de mue des canaris precautions
Hold up .... There was no common ancestor? How is there still wolves today then if dogs evolved from them??
I think that big sized dogs descended from wolves, but short sized dogs came from foxes. Its hard to believe that pekes and chihuahuas originated from wolves too.
Good point
My queston is if evolution takes milions of years how did we get all those very different dog breeds like chivawa, buldog etc from sigle or two very similar breeds of wolf? All in a matter of 10-20.000 years!?
You're confusing evolution with cross breeding.
The Vicious Chicken of Bristol
Not really. If it is by chance everything is possible. How come one spoeces ca produce such diversity im breeds from single breed in such short time? Check out experiment with foxes...
Check this out. Tell me what do you think.

If evolution goes by chance it should be significant portin with this short term jumps not millions of years of graduate change...
Chance?
Now you're confusing evolution with natural selection.
Dogs are man made. Why is this so hard for you to accept?
1:15 :))
Doggystyle lmao 😂
But how did they become omnivore?
Evolution...

No way a wolf to become a Pudels 🐩 or any other breed as the wolfs are still wolfs nowadays as well
#Imwithher
I bet these people think we came from monkeys
Please be shared in a way to show the reality of how the dogs are breed just for fasion or status like symbols, I wake up these people in reality animals are cruely threten in this world Just set them free and lets talk about that bow can those things happen that animal being could be taking care just the way they are and it will be beautiful.
Lets love them and take care of them peacfuly and with equal treatment I-am a hypocrite I admit I did alot of things like these breeders but I will change
Technically we are gods to them.
Get it why dogs adore us so much
0:05 - Well DNA evidence shows dogs came from the now extinct Asian wolf.
0:35 - Gregoy Larson from the University of Oxford say's dogs were domesticated twice.
Wat about cats
Cats were created by the devil
Cats domesticated themselves
In Egypt
They should have created pugs.
Do you guys like dog than hit the like button
I don't think it make sense
All dogs come from the American wolf .
This makes no sense
Doggy style
.... it was 40,000 years ago fool.
Not real then why wolves exit still? It was tomarctus.
A lot of dogs are fucking dangerous, such as hulk the pit bull
Pit bulls aren’t dangerous
Lil peep-Dead it’s just a stereotype
Wolves = Normal humans
Dogs = Down síndrome humans
well I guess your a dog then.
@barcitaa so did wild wolves. yet they didn't have to be modified to do so.
Goof boy
1:50.. assumptions based upon our society. These were walking and hunting food packs. When you needed a meal, boom.. just eat the animals walking along with you.. Our cultural perspective shapes how we analyze and deconstruct what we think happened a long time ago.... that is a problem, as we don't have access to that period (time...), so our assumptions are heavily influenced by now. I would really want to eat dog, but it is done... still today... finding bones... ha ha ha...
is it just me, or do other people think we should be artificially pushing dogs intelligence and body plan to a more hominid body plan... opposable thumb, more finger and hand less paw... Their ability to communicate and understand more would be of immense benefit to both species.. We should consider uplifting them...For that matter, we should be doing these advancements to humans too!
Fake vid
Fake
its a lie
this video is way off. lets start here. if dogs came from wolves, in which they did, then what was the other animal man used to breed the dog. if you use two wolf species you will always just get a wolf. no matter what breed of wolf you mix with it will always be a wolf. it will never turn into a pug no matter the time length. so they had to have mixed the wolf with another animal. what was it, no one knows? domesticated dogs did not come before crops and live stock seeing how they were domesticated to protect live stock and crops. if you believe we domesticated a wild wolf before we grew plants then you have major problems with facts.
I think it goes like this. Humans only bred the wolves who were friendly to them and selected certain aspects of wolves they found useful. No being is a 100% replica of their parent, the genes keep mutating. Therefore variations in wolf characteristics such as ears drooping down and all. Selective breeding for generations caused the new "wolves" to be so different from their ancestors that they were named dogs as we know them now.
All the evidence we need is found at (Genesis 1:24, 25) . . .Then God said: “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds, domestic animals and creeping animals and wild animals of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God went on to make the wild animals of the earth according to their kinds and the domestic animals according to their kinds and all the creeping animals of the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Notice that both the domesticated and the wild animals were created separately.
''Evidence'' lol
Joyce Johnson 🤣🤣🤣
shut the fuck up
im not trying to be mean but us viewers of THIS video are trying to be realistic. so i kind of agree with the comment above me
I just scrolling in the comments and hoping someone would bring God into this lmao
