RE: https://sciences.social/@primatology/117005021582647203
Did humans invent pet-keeping, or refine a primate trait? A new study of 427 cases shows primates adopting, grooming & bonding across species. With female-skewed care mirroring ethnographic data, our bond with animals is older than Homo sapiens.

Remains of two wolves from 3-5,000 years ago have been found on a Swedish island in the Baltic that they could not have reached on their own. Isotopic analysis indicates they ate seals and fish, like the human inhabitants. Other findings also suggest these wolves were domesticated.

Why do we domesticate some animals but not others? It all comes down to the four Fs.

Modern cotton’s family tree leads to one specific corner of the Yucatán coast. New genome data from 299 wild plants pins down where domestication began, and shows how much diversity got left behind. #cottongenomics #domestication #paleoethnobotany https://www.anthropology.net/p/a-40-year-search-for-cottons-birthplace

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐔🎨 A single MC1R gene acts as a molecular dimmer for feather color, and researchers found 18 variants that combine to create #chickens’ #rainbow of #plumage.
By reading the #genomes of over 10,000 #birds, they traced how these mutations accumulated since #domestication.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦝🧬 A 2025 study found urban #raccoons have shorter snouts than rural ones – a possible #domestication syndrome signal.
But UC #Berkeley’s Lauren Stanton says #diet, not #genetics, might explain the change. Raccoons’ wild #intelligence is what makes them special, and trying to turn them into #pets would likely backfire.

Pigeon bones from Bronze Age Cyprus show Columba livia sharing a diet with humans by 1400 BCE, pushing the direct evidence for domestication back nearly 1,000 years. New isotope analysis in Antiquity changes the timeline. #Zooarchaeology #BronzeAge #Domestication @Antiquity https://www.anthropology.net/p/pigeon-domestication-is-nearly-a

How dogs became domestic animals. 🐶🌍
Dogs are believed to have been domesticated from wolves thousands of years ago, when early humans and wild wolves formed a mutual relationship. 🧠
Wolves that were less aggressive began staying closer to human camps to feed on leftovers, while humans benefited from their protection and hunting skills. 🤝
Over time, this cooperation led to gradual evolution—taming behavior, emotional bonding, and eventually the loyal domestic dogs we know today .🐾✨

🐕🧠 A study of #canine remains shows that the earliest #dogs had #brains comparable in size to ancient #wolves.
Researchers found that the major reduction in #brain volume happened 5,000 years ago as human societies moved into permanent settlements. The evidence suggests that secondary environmental factors played a larger role in canine evolution than the early stages of living with humans.

Dogs were originally thought to be domesticated around 10,000 years ago but new findings have moved that back even farther an additional 5,000 years. Dog remains at a burial site in Turkey confirmed this date when researchers extracted DNA from dog jawbones and compared them to dog and wolf DNA.|
