It seems like wolves and humans developed a certain kind of respect for each other while both benefiting from roaming together.
Humans were kept safer, canines like wolves and ancient dogs had much more sensitive hearing than us humans and they would’ve heard danger coming from further away, giving the humans more time to defend themselves.
Wolves and dogs are quite good at protecting their pack and they can consider humans part of their pack as well.
Humans on the other hand would’ve given these canines meat, shelter, warmth with their fires and probably a lot more.
Therefore you can see clearly that this is a mutual beneficial relationship for both species.
There is a piece of tangible evidence for this relationship between humans and canines, this is in the form of footprints from a child that walked alongside a wolf in a cave.
The cave where these prints are located is the Chauvet Cave and this might be one of the most famous caves in France.
The walls of this cave are adorned with some of the world’s oldest paintings, some 400 depictions of animals were created on the walls around 32,000 years ago.
But all the way back in the cave ancient footsteps of a child walking alongside a wolf can be found, these prints stretch over an area of 45,70 meters and they were originally made when the soil was soft clay that hardened over time while being left undisturbed for many thousands of years.

Humans, wolves are actually perfect matches. Both are very social animals and both are omnivores. Both can run for extremely long distances and hunted well together.

@dgray3771 2 года назад

It's actually a thing that happened and happens more in mammal history. Like the baboons and wolves, I mentioned in other comments. But it also doesn't happen where 2 species are like sworn enemies fighting over the same resources. Driving each other to extinction. The baboons and lions aren't exactly both omnivores, but they do share 1 source that is water. And both live in community structures. I think both species need at least 1 common source of nurture as well as a social structure which provides a certain level of intellect above instinct. Because certain species live together only because they occupy the same space. But have almost no interest in each other. Many animals graze the same area but wouldn't bat an eye if one got eaten that isn't their kind. Also, the species shouldn't be too dominating. For example elephants. They are highly intelligent and do know how to use tools "though don't need them" and have a social structure unlike any other mammal except humans. But they are just too dominant no other species has anything they need. Unlike early humans and wolves who had enemies, or made easier food available. And like the Lions and baboons. Where the lions gain easy food and the baboons gain security. You need a win-win situation before 2 species in a social structure would look outside their own social structure.

I had a hybrid wolf/dog, part husky, part wolf. (He's in the picture in my avatar. He had yellow eyes and a black spot on the upper part of his tail.) When he stalked an animal (always on-leash) he would follow directly in the footsteps of the animal🐺 like a deer or rabbit, sniffing the footprints of the animal. Their tracks would overlap. The Chauvet caves tracks are side-by-side. If the Chauvet tracks were made at a different time, it's unlikely that they would follow so closely for 46 meters. So I'm convinced that a boy or girl was walking with his or her furry friend. My wolf/dog bonded with only a few people, people who played with him when he was a puppy. To everyone else he was aloof, but not aggressive. I was lucky that he was not aggressive, though he did guard his territory. Thank you Kayleigh for a most interesting discussion. 🐺🐺🐺🙂

@RockyMountainBear 2 года назад

HAHAH my professor tried teaching me about the "evolution" of the more docile wolves. How they would follow roving packs of wild humans, which led to their domestication. I wasn't buying it back then, and I still don't. I lived with a Gray Wolf named *Kane* for 15 years. I gave him that name, because he was enormous (even as a pup) & covered in black fur. He was my best friend, my protector, and my brother. May he rest in peace.

@dgray3771 2 года назад

How about the Baboons and lions that live together? It is an interesting video on RU-vid. Not so much roaming but they do live near this water pool in perfect harmony. After a few generations, they might actually develop a bond that could closely resemble that of early human/wolf interaction.

It's more likely that the boy's trip into the cave was part of a ritual toward adulthood. The flickering torch would have created quite a show simulating movement of the drawings. It could have been his first lesson before joining the hunt and the wolf's too.

There is only footprints of 1 child so if it was a ritual it was something special, maybe for the kid of the chieftain.

These footprints told us a lot of important things. 1. At times the human prints were over the canine ones, at others the canine were over the humans, which means they were walking side by side at the same pace. 2. At the point where the child stumbles, the canine prints indicated that it braced, which most likely means the child steadied themselves on the canine, showing trust between them. 3. The evidence of a torch implies that the canine trusted the human enough and were used to the presence of fire enough, that they felt safe that close to fire.

@et76039 2 года назад

Those ancient footprints of child and wolf/dog brought to mind something I had noticed in rural areas. A human going off into the woods, or to a pond that was far from the house, would be accompanied by the family dog. The implication was that the dog was operating on its protective instinct, especially if the human was a child.

Have a great vacation! Enjoyed your presentation. About 15 years ago, we visited Yellowstone National Park in winter. Some fellow visitors were skiing through the snowy woods when they encountered a small elk herd. As they photographed them, a pack of wolves began driving the elk towards the people. They were very pleased not to be stampeded by the elk who wanted to avoid humans and wolves. The wolves were not successful on their hunt at that moment. This is a modern example of how humans were ‘used’ by wolves and certainly not a unique instance. Seems very probable the two species ‘played’ off each other for greater success starting a relationship that grew much closer over time.

@jonathanbair523 Год назад

I can see how a wild wolf would have a smaller window for the pups to grow up in the summer time, as where with humans having fire all the time they would always have warmth so more chances to mate... Also can see the wolfs working with humans getting better hunting cases as the group can look at bigger animals and have less risk then if the wolf was alone... The wolfs with human also would get to have the bigger animals bones to..

@leonardharris9930 2 года назад

The domestication of wolves was not a single even but rather a long process played out over thousands of generations of wolves and humans. One only has to look at how modern wolf packs operate to see how it might have got started. It is quite common in large successful wolf packs for one individual wolf ( the omega wolf ) to be expelled from the pack and be forced to try and survive on their own. This is extremely hard to do. A sole wolf frequently does not survive long in the wild. Such expelled wolves are nearly always male. Sometimes a sole female wolf will follow the expelled male wolf into exile. As a pair they have a better chance of surviving but an almost zero chance of producing and rasing a litter of pups. This is because it takes usually at least five wolves working together to bring down big game. Almost certainly many such expelled wolves would have learned that by follwing humans they could feast on the remains of their kill after the humans had cut off the most meaty parts, and the skin and departed back to their camp fire. Eventually over time such expelled wolves would have realised that it was worthwhile actually helping the human hunters to bring down a kill. When wolves hunt as a group they each fulfil different roles. One role is for a single wolf to get a firm grip on the nose of the prey animal to act as an anchor slowing down the prey animal while the other wolves attack it from the side and behind and eventually finish it off with a choking throat bite. A sole expelled wolf observing a human hunt would instictively join in by anchoring the large prey animal, thereby enabling the chasing humans to catch up and finish it off. Once this had occurred it no doubt got repeated again and again, and the long process of domestication of both wolves and humans was underway. Inevitably it would be thousands of years before we saw the first highly specialised hunting dogs or even humans capable of farming rather than hunting. But this was the inevitable outcome once sole wolves and humans started to assist each other in the hunt.

@phoule76 2 года назад

And then, once humans recognized the value of hunting with them, they wouldn't have hesitated to steal / adopt pups to raise.

@leonardharris9930 2 года назад

@@phoule76 Exactly! Moreover, if a male and female pair of wolves were regularly helping humans bring down prey they would have stayed close to the human camp site, or cave. Before long the female would have produced a litter of pups. Where would she locate / build her litter nest? Most certainly close to the humans.

You are an interesting person, Kayleigh. I am a 76 year old Inuk (Eskimo) living in Manitoba. But I grew up way up north in a little place we call Naujaat, at the very north end of Hudson Bay, right on the arctic circle in Canada. When I was seven, my father got a Christmas present. It was a very wild dog. I am sure it was almost all wolf. It was so wild and fierce we could not even approach it. My dad tied it to a post and, for the longest time, we could only feed it by pretty much throwing food at it. It ran away and friends would come and visit and tell us they had seen our dog out there in the wildernest. They said it was living with wolves and it obviously had puppies. It came back after a time. I think it was because it was hungry. It took us a long time to catch it but, when we finally tamed it, it became the best lead dog we had ever had. Thank you for your interesting stories.

After the successful hunt we took half of the meat of one for the village and left old one for the wolves. A large wolf came up about 25 yards and just stared at us. The guide raised his hand the wolf left I’ll never forget it this was in 1969.

@cpt.indiglowanderlustIII 2 года назад

The fact that there are no wolves or ancient dogs depicted on the cave walls is because the images were a teaching tool for the younger generations; they depicted the animals that they were meant to hunt. They're arranged in groups according to the easiest to capture, best tasting, most dangerous, fastest and hardest to kill. During a magnetic pole reversal, cosmic rays from the sun would have wreaked havoc on the early Human's skin and eyes. These cave drawings are hundreds of feet into the cave where early Humans would be well protected from cosmic rays in the daytime hours. They'd emerge in late afternoon when the sun was low and gather food, fuel, and water. They'd hunt and gather all night with the help of the Canines until the sun rose again and they'd all return to the cave for protection. The images are IMO not artwork, but an ingenious way to survive a pole shift.

A large collie dog was my best friend from when I was 7 years old to 14. He was the best friend a boy could ever have! I fantasize about a homo erectus boy having a best friend 'canis lupus not-so-familiaris' and the adventures they might have had! I guess these days maybe I would have to substitute a Denisovan boy for homo erectus. ALSO: Reality check: I was a dog walker & pet sitter for 20 years and the woman of the household is usually the care giver for the children, dogs & cats. ALSO: There is a reality television program, on Animal Planet, here in the USA, "Pit Bulls & Paroles" about Tia Maria Torres and her family and the Villalobos dog rescue center of New Orleans. It specializes in pit bull dogs & prison paroles. Ms. Torres started as a dog & wolf trainer in Hollywood. She claims (and shows on her program) that dogs, wolves & hybrids are more comfortable & trusting with female human beings. (e.g. Her daughters, who grew up with dogs and wolves in their lives.) BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! I was recently studying the Aeta Magbukún people of Luzon, Philippines. They are identified as having the highest percent Denisovan DNA of any people on the planet. (Yes, they originate from the area where homo luzonensis was found.) Most of them live as hunter gatherers as their ancestors have done for generations. When the men hunt alone, they are 30% successful. When the women hunt, they hunt with dogs and are 40% successful. When the men, women & dogs hunt together they are 50% successful. (I may be mixing this up with Bushman people of the Kalahari. Did I see it on your channel? I watch so many of these programs on paleontology & anthropology! I am especially interested in the Philippines right now.)

While it sounds very reasonable with humans/wolves having had a mutually beneficial relationship for a long period, I'd still guess it to be plausible with the scraps being part of how the species relationship originally started. This quickly leading to humans realizing the benefit of having wolves around, and with cooperative hunting, more food for both.

Wolves are very family oriented. There is no alfa male. Mom and dad wolf lead the kids (the pack). Much like human type creatures. There are lone wolves who drift off and start a new pack. It's thought it takes three or more generations to domesticate even the most docile wolf. In short, you're post is great.

Long before agriculture and more substantial settlements, the concept of domestication was likely much softer than now, more like joining a pack without expectations of being closely tied. Like when songbirds and humans now have mutual benefit without domestication having happened.

@@properlynumb7092 No, personally I don't want to have any relationship with dogs, just not "be in a pack". Not as in disliking, simply my way of being. Thus, when I mention benefits, this is from an evolutionary and anthropological perspective, including me appreciating how the long co-evolution have furthered a special species mutuality. This has also avoided the wolves becoming dogs from being marginalized when humans came to dominate big parts of the ecosystem.

I would really like to know how the archaeologists arrived at the conclusion that the footprints of both were made simultaneously; could they not have been made at differing times while the clay was still soft, ie within hours or days of each other ?

@gavinlaird85 2 года назад

I thought that too but my guess is that the chances of the Wolf following the same path as the child without a crossover of footprints or some kind of divergence are low. it appears they stopped in the same place too so it's unlikely to have been done at different times.

@loquat44-40 2 года назад

Likely the child had stepped on some of wolf prints and the wolf had trod over some of the child's foot prints. There seems to have been no panic or chase shown by the foot prints

I myself was awoken by a pack of wolves while I was sleeping under a full moon on the top of a mountain. I opened my eyes and I saw teeth! One was nosing my goin area and on was sniffing my throat and face. I payed still and prayed . The pack ended up accepting me after a few days of closely observing me, and then I was led to a den inside a downed redwood tree and I met the cubs. I ended up being a babysitter so Momma could go hunt. Now my own son had a pack of wolves that come to meet him when he is in a deer hunt or fishing. He leaves them food and he can pet them. We know wolves. Howling at the moon seems natural now.

I once watched a clip from a video of Yellowstone showing a wolf pack trying to bring down a bison. This is a long, dangerous process for the wolves. It can last days and result in serious injuries. What's needed is human cooperation. The wolves stop the bison, the humans catch up and finish it. Much safer and more iffecient for both the wolves and the humans.

Interesting fact. While modern dogs can interbreed with wild grey wolves, they are not descended from grey wolves, but rather the grey wolf and the wolf modern dogs descended from were cousin species. The wolf that dogs descend from is extinct, but that species and the grey wolf species are close enough related that dogs and grey wolves can still interbreed.

Humans and wolves/dogs also share one common trait: we both are very good at facial reading. Humans and canines can read the facial expressions of both of members of our own spieces but also of each other spieces. Canines can read us and we can read them. This must have helped a lot with mutual understanding each other, an important step for the domestication i suppose.

@timehaley Год назад

Knowing people don't change in their manners very much. My personal belief in the human and canine companionship goes something like this. An ancient human discovered a wolf den, killed the mother wolf for food, and decided to take the pups back to his cave as a handy source of food for later. He gave the pups over to a young boy of the clan to watch and keep tied up. Knowing how children love to play with their food, and how canines have the pact instinct, the rest is history. lol That's my theory and it's just as good as anybody's.

Animals insects and plants have always co-evolved together and are still doing so. Look at crows and humans for instance. They can form very close bonds to each other with only a few shiny or brightly colored objects. Wolves and all other hunting carnivores are very well equipped to see patterns of behavior in everything around them including each other and not just their preferred prey. Most people are very far removed from the natural world today so they miss alot of these nuances. I can look at a wild hen turkey and tell you if she has a nest full of eggs. Or a deer and know if she has very young fawns just by behavioral clues. So I think you're right that wolves and hominids knew when one group was hunting or had been feasting. We share similar hunting behaviors. Most animals are able to exploit behaviors of other creatures. Mammals, plants, insects and birds. Even fish.

@dgray3771 2 года назад

domestication of crows is only a minor thing, but the benefit for humans to have a bird is limited. Thus the crows never evolved into anything new as the wolf did. Crows as well as parrots and other birds are simply pets for entertainment. And a caged canary in a mine is nothing but an early sign of gasses. So even that doesn't really count.

Thanks Kayleigh. Having always been raised with (not by) dogs (though I raised 3 wolves myself, aka Millennials, well 4 if you count Kaiser in the picture and we must, he is after all about 2 amino acids from being a wolf), I reckon you're spot on in your diagnosis. Here's the deal: you warn me of approaching danger and I feed you. Siberians, from the cold north, would have spent lots of time inside an igloo or confined space so they were either very sweet or quite dead. Shape up or die. It is hard to turn a grown wolf to our indoor dog as they rightly have trust issues, but if you got some wolf pups after mom was killed, well then, we're off to the races. Dogs, like kids, make life on earth worth living. They also know in a hurry who's the boss, aka Alpha. Thank god for dogs. Cave canem (cah-way), in Roman, meant Beware the Dog, but let's face it, Cave hominem could be a much better and more accurate saying. And that is why we caught a break and brought them indoors. Richard Dawkins wasn't wrong: they are such good sports. Always a pleasure Madame.

I think that it is also possible that the hunters killed or trapped a wolf that had pups, and that the hunters took the pups with them for whatever reason, maybe to eat or skin them later, but instead of eating or skinning them they got attached to the pups, and the humans and the pups figured out that they could trust each other. After that some other hunters watched and learned from that and did the same thing in order to get their hands on some wolf pups. Over some time they had enough pups so that they could breed with them. I mean, it is just a theory that I came up with, but to me my theory sounds more plausible as the symbiotic relation theory. To this date wild wolfs do not like humans at all. They do everything to avoid us. Let alone start a symbiotic relation. It is very likely that wolfs were on the menu from the humans for their meat or their fur. So I am having a hard time believing that wolfs voluntarily started this relation with humans. For the same reason that we do not see a symbiotic relation between lions and humans in African countries.

@larrydaniels6532 2 года назад

You are correct, early man would never trust an adult wolf. Wolves and man were competitors for food and many humans were driven from their prey by the wolf pack, just as many wolves were driven from their prey by well armed humans, that is the nature of every hunt, once you kill it, then you have to protect it until you can eat it. Early man was smart enough to not trust any adult wolf, but did steal the litter of puppies ( and then kill the pack), very quickly the puppies would show which were able to be trained and which were going to be eaten. A few generations of breeding these good puppies with each other--- modern dogs began.

@insAneTunA 2 года назад

@@larrydaniels6532 I think that Kayleigh was not that far of, only the words "symbiotic relation" are out of context. For example, certain ant species have a symbiotic relation with certain fungi species. Without the ants the fungi can't survive. In trade the fungi provides nutrients for the ants. That is a proper symbiotic relation in the proper context and meaning of the word.

@larrydaniels6532 2 года назад

@@insAneTunA Yes, I'm aware of the ants that cultivate this fungus. The wolf/ human symbiosis was/is even more profound, I would argue. The protection and food from humans was real for the wolf/ dog. The protection of the camp and the skills on the hunt were a very real benefit to the humans, maybe for the first time one could sleep through the night?.... and catch prey that had eluded them prior to the speed of this animal. The wolf may have felt a sense of invulnerability walking with the master that possessed killing weapons.

@larrydaniels6532 2 года назад

This is a subject that I've thought of for many decades. From the first human hunters, wolves and early man crossed paths often, this is the nature of the hunt. Many humans were driven from the animals they had captured by the ever-present wolf pack and many times wolves were driven away from their quarry by well-armed humans. Being quite intelligent, humans saw an opportunity take advantage of the wolves superiority in speed and tracking ability as well as their self defence ability (having their impressive canine teeth always at the ready). The early human's intelligence also gave insight into how best take advantage in this relationship, not by courting the shy, hungry adults that could flip at any moment and kill you. Instead, they captured the puppies. They knew, even then, that the young wolf puppies would have a bond with whomever provided their food and shelter. In a very short matter of months they would be able to pick the puppies that were " on the program" , the more resistant puppies were eaten. This is the way early man domesticated the wolves, I could guarantee this process has been in effect for more than 100,000 years. These domesticated wolves that have been our dogs now, were a great part of how early man was able to survive. Thanks for the video, you are providing thought-provoking content.

@sparky6086 2 года назад

From what I understand, when Human began farming & needed to store grain, maybe 12 or 15 thousand years ago, they had trouble keeping rats & mice out of it, so they brought in or otherwise encouraged cats to hang around the grain storage, to handle any rodent issues. I've heard it said, that the difference between dogs & cats, when it comes to Humans is, that dogs think of Humans as dogs but superior dogs, & cats think of Humans as cats but inferior cats!

@nyetzdyec3391 Год назад

A slight change to @Sparky post... I think it's more likely that the cats just naturally came to where the mice/rats were, just as the nice naturally came to where the grain was. Once the cats showed up and began eating the mice/rats, they were probably tolerated for exactly that reason. Even beyond that, it isn't necessarily JUST the problem of mice and rats. Cats will scare off and/or kill snakes, too, as well as birds which might be eating your grain on-the-stalk. Sort of like living scarecrows. Basically, humans are perfect providers for cats... which might explain the apparent difference between how cats (allegedly, although I personally also agree) as compared to dogs/wolves.

@carlossaraiva8213 Год назад

As pet the cats have a sort of turbulent story. We fo know ancient egypcians had a relationship with cats - one of thtir gods, Bast i believe, had a cat head. Aparently cats were sort of tolerated. The egypvians didnt mess eith them fue to yheir duperstitions so the cats roamed freely, especially in the temples. Thet they hunted grain eating pests and vermin - rats and birds - made them act as a pest control so each ehy the tolerance to them. The association of cats with this ancient cultures made the edrly christians associate them with paganism and eventually see them as indtruments of witchcraft and of the devil. Cats were feared and killed on sight. Back them the house pet would be the ferret. In fact cats later replaced the ferret as pets in the 18th century and dll that thanks to the vatious Ancient Egypt crazes that have been happening since Napoleon's Egypt Campaign. Cats association with Ancient Egypt made them to be the exotic pet of the fashion of the moment, began by the very wealthy but which eventually trickled down to the rest of society by the middle class who had aspirations to social upper mobility and so on until their ubiquity today. Something like that.
