Are domesticated animals dumber than their wild relatives? A comprehensive review on the domestication effects on animal cognitive performance
2023, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsComparing wolves and dogs: current status and implications for human ‘self-domestication’
2022, Trends in Cognitive SciencesCitation Excerpt :First, as reviewed in the preceding text, there is no general decrease in aggression in dogs compared with wolves. While dogs are potentially less aggressive toward conspecific outgroup members (although systematic studies still need to confirm this), their ingroup social dynamics, particularly around food, have changed in less obvious ways: dominant dogs are less tolerant than are dominant wolves, and subordinate dogs (but not subordinate wolves) avoid potential conflicts where possible [69–73]. A similar pattern emerges when interacting with humans, where dogs appear to be more easily inhibited and more likely to comply with their demands compared with wolves (Box 4) [42,74,106,107].

2021, Advances in the Study of BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Frank (1980) argued that the wolf niche favors group hunting and thus cognitive adaptations including foresight, mental representation and an understanding of means-end relationships. Since dogs have been relieved of the selection pressures for hunting live prey in their symbiosis with humans, Frank argued they lost these forms of cognition in place of tractability in the human partnership (Frank & Frank, 1982). From these considerations the Franks derived a number of testable hypotheses.
Chimpanzees, but not bonobos, attend more to infant than adult conspecifics
2019, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :However, because human infants are altricial and require extensive care from both related and unrelated adults (even more so than bonobos and chimpanzees), humans might have acquired especially strong affiliative responses to infants with strong baby schema, which might be generalized to heterospecific infants with the same baby schema. If the preference of humans for heterospecific infants has an evolutionary origin, such preferences might have promoted the domestication of heterospecific species, such as dogs and cats, because domestication tends to promote the evolution of infant-like features in animals (e.g. Frank & Frank, 1982). The preference of humans for heterospecific infants is not limited to domesticated species, however.
Distributed cognition criteria: Defined, operationalized, and applied to human-dog systems
2019, Behavioural ProcessesCitation Excerpt :In domesticated dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), such positive selection pressures have resulted in their preference for human companionship over and above even the companionship of their fellow dog (Hare and Woods, 2013). This is unlike their wolf (Canis lupus) relatives who, even when raised by humans, often prefer the company of other wolves (Hare and Woods, 2013; Frank and Frank, 1982). Through their convergent evolution with humans, dogs have become more adept at responding to human communicative cues in cooperative contexts than other species (Piotti and Kaminski, 2016; Naderi et al., 2001).
