Takeaway from above, NOVA narrator quote:
“It’s impossible to turn a wolf puppy into a dog, no matter how much it is loved and nurtured.”
Fascinating
“Dogs and wolves are still the same species today, they can easily interbreed. Overall wolves and dogs are 99.8% genetically identical. Given that they are biologically so similar, is it the way we raise them in our homes that makes a dog? Researchers in Hungary set out to answer this question.”
Answer: epic fail. A wolf puppy cannot be “nurtured” into behaving like a dog, even though they are 99.8% genetically identical.
