Domestication.
Questions and Answers.
Approaching
the conversation about the domestication, first of all it is necessary
to go away from the Hollywood stereotype, based on the excavations
recent (in the historical implication) time. This stereotype ties
to us the completely fantastic picture: a little bearded, European
race man in the beautiful skin of the killed bear and with the rock
axe in the hands leaves for the searches of likable woman in the skin
(sometimes in the flowers), by for some reason living separately in
another cave, and in which is a fire and a pot, its passionate heart
conquers, they settle together and to them to the flame comes the
dog (from itself!) and the cat. So allegedly and was domesticated
dog (itself!).
But, historically and biologically - this is completely erroneous.
According to contemporary studies the ancestors of man conducted pack
means, in essence being occupied by collecting. Will focus attention
on your's own teeth -its, in essence, are fitted out to the grinding
of food. But man is omnivorous, and in its menu protein food always
entered, the valuable development of organism is impossible without
the proteins of animal origin. However, the speed of the human’s movement
is incommensurable it is too small in the comparison with the rate
of probable output. World record in the sprint is more than
36 km per hour, only, but even to run with this speed of men
can only some more than 10 seconds, further speed begins to fall approximately
to 20 km per hour. And these are world
records!!! With this speed it is possible to catch frog, snake, snail,
mollusks, insects and fish. This ration sufficiently for a long time
was the basic protein ration of human. Remaining animals possess larger
speed and run away from the potential hunter or they themselves will
attack him. Using own intellect, man reasonable was armed; including
it developed the different methods of hunting by pack, for that, in
order to liquidate deficiency in the speed. But he cannot change himself.
In contrast to the man, dog possesses
the possibility to develop speed to 66 km/h
and to move with this speed more than an hour. On contemporary
studies, to 73% of attacks the packs
of wild dogs become successful. Specifically, the luck of dogs
in the hunting served as that flame, which attracted MAN
to THE DOG! Not vice versa! Described by Hollywood and other
motion picture studios the history of domestication substitutes the
wild dog of that run wild! Dog is more ancient than the man and it
is biologically self-sufficient! Even single dog can obtain subsistence,
hunting on the small animals (so they act young dogs and bitches with
posterity). Wild beast - predator can approach the man with the sole
purpose – to eat him on breakfast.
The joint activity of man and dog on the hunting in the beginning
of centuries appeared, apparently, as follows: the small pack of young
dogs began hunting in the field of the sight of human pack, when dogs
overtook purpose and a little they fortified themselves, people appeared
and they drove off dogs from the output. With the large, prevailing,
pack such is hardly possible, but young dogs frequently form packs
small in composition from the individuals of approximately same age.
This hunting method of was preserved also till today. But, a similar
proximity hardly took to heart for most canine pack. And dogs departed
to hunt to other places. Surely precisely on this, man wanted to tie
dog to himself, to domesticate.
Wild dogs use old aardvark‘s burrows for the
whelping and raisings of posterity. Puppies are blind and deaf by
born, and 10 days they determine their attitude by feel and on the
smell. But burrow does not have a water pipe and a basin with the
water, the bitch is forced to leave burrow and to go to the watering.
At the output from its burrow awaited the "loop" of hunter,
the simplest method of catching devised by man. They killed and ate
the bitch, and puppies would be put to the feeding women, having preliminarily
rubbed the skin by isolations bitches, so that the puppies would not
note substitutions. The period of the socialization of puppies begins
from the moment of the discovery eyes and continues approximately
to three months. Specifically, at this time puppy learns "correct"
to react to different stimuli, and it learns its from bitch. You will
focus attention on that difference in the behavior of the puppies
of domestic dog with respect to the man, which feeds to bitch, and,
for example, their relation to the strange dog or the man, with respect
to which their mother appeared aggression. Puppies automatically recognize
for you, but they try from all weak forces to drive off strange dog
or strange person. Dog, grown in the "new" pack, will take
to itself not one pack (only if we plant it into the cell together
with the different sex savage, a certain time to hold together, and
then to transport in the new place and to together let out). By such
means of men the packs dependent on it were created. Rejection occurred
in essence on the psyche, especially aggressive dogs dispatch to the
fodder to man and to other dogs. Not to return output indicated for
the dog death. Special attention was paid to the bitches, bitch it
should not have manifested aggressiveness with respect to the man.
For this before the kinds to bitch they held as close as possible
to man and fed them better. If it, nevertheless, manifested the innate
reflex of the protection of posterity, it was killed and eaten, and
puppies reared man. For this very reason in the frescoes and are encountered
with the stone women figures those feeding the puppies with the breast.
Specifically, thus occurred the "domestication" of dog.
As soon as this occurred, in man appeared the true helper in the hunting,
to protection, yes even it is simple for the soul. And this occurred
very long time ago. So long time ago, that the written history of
humanity cannot accurately estimate this time. This occurred to that,
as men it left Africa in the searches for new places for the hunting,
the primary occupation of humanity for a period of 1-2 million years.
Therefore on the Earth paleontologists cannot find ancestors Canis
Lupus Familiaris. Dogs exist in almost all peoples, but ancestors
or there are no properly wild dogs. This is artificial Subspecies,
created by man for itself! For their ancestors must not be searched,
they thus far anywhere do not be divided. As before they run on the
spaces of savanna in Africa, but thankless humanity,
which the dog allowed to conquer of this world, passed to the agriculture,
it begins on the last islets of the old places of the inhabiting of
present wild dog and in the Red Book
appeared the
alarming record:
5000 individuals, species threatens extinction!
