A profound re-appraisal of human evolution with dogs. Our ability to speak words set us apart from other human-like species who could not. Those other species are now extinct. But the anatomy for speaking words interferes with our sense of smell. Ancestors of the dog moved into caves of human ancestors some 130,000 years ago. As humans and dogs adapted to each other, a unique, co-evolved partnership emerges. We became part of each others nature Therefore, if we desire to live in naturally vibrant communities, the human-dog partnership must be nurtured and managed well.
