Doggies

Just watching Discovery channel's Daily Planet. Awesome show. Yes, a bit nerdy, but quite interesting. Today's show was about how humans have influenced the genetic makeup (evolutionarily) of dogs and other domesticated animals (like goats) . For example, a dog has certain cognitive abilities with relations to humans that helps it survive better. It understands when a person is not paying attention to them (if their eyes are closed or distracted) while a chimpanzee would not notice the difference. Also, they understand what it means when a human points towards something.

anywho..nothing too shocking....something we could have guessed anyways..but noooo..they need people to research these things.
