How Primitive Humans Created Man's Best Friend

Your dog is probably asleep on something it's not supposed to be on right now. Completely useless. Maybe snoring. And somehow, that animal is the end result of 30,000 years of evolution working on the most dangerous predator in Ice Age Europe. Wolves were faster than you, stronger than you, and could smell you from miles away in the dark. No human sat down and decided to fix that by inventing a companion animal. No tribe held a meeting. No one had a plan. What happened instead was stranger — wolves may have started domesticating themselves before any human even noticed it was happening. This is the chain of accidents that turned an apex predator into something that wears a birthday hat.
