Seeing the docile puppy, can you associate it with a ferocious wolf?
In fact, more than 10,000 years ago, some wild wolves were attracted by human food and walked into humans, and humans believed that wolves could provide more protection for themselves in the face of harsh nature, so some wild wolves and humans began to intersect.
Slowly humans left the relatively obedient, less aggressive wolves around, and in addition to helping people transport items, their furs also provided an important role in keeping out the cold. Through evolution, wolves eventually became dogs close to humans.
Today, there are more than 400 dog breeds, each of which is many different from their ancestors.
They play an important role in various occasions, such as sheepdogs can help people drive sheep, working dogs can assist humans in various situations to perform a variety of tasks, and pet dogs can soothe people's hearts.
Cats are good at catching mice. So as long as there are mice, wildcats will exist.
It is precisely because cats play a huge role in protecting food, in ancient Egypt cats were considered a sacred animal, after the cat died people would use spices to mummify cats, and even the image of Best, the goddess of the family, was a cat's head.
These small animals, which once required wild hunting, are now very adapted to the life of human families
There are already forty or fifty species of purebred cats in the world, most of which are still very similar to wild cats, and their differences are mainly reflected in the shape of the hair and head.
If there is a big difference in the fate of any animal, the rabbit is one of them.
Nowadays, pet rabbits and meat rabbits are two of our common types.
In the Middle Ages, rabbit breeding developed on a large scale, and many monks built rabbit cages. There is also a place dedicated to raising rabbits , the rabbit forest.
Because rabbits are highly reproducible, each litter can give birth to several rabbit cubs, and if over-breeding, it may destroy the local vegetation and cause ecological problems.
Pet rabbits are cute and cute, and children like to keep rabbits. Compared with meat rabbits, the treatment of pet rabbits is not too good.
Spring has arrived, in various flower and bird markets and scenic spots, there is also a small fish figure, that is, goldfish, red and white body, bulging eyes, is the representative feature of goldfish.
In fact, the goldfish is a kind of crucian carp, and more than 1,000 years ago, there are records of red and yellow golden crucian carp, and the goldfish is named independently because of its distinctive color and appearance. Whales were introduced to Europe in the 17th century and lived in the ponds of Versailles during the reign of Louis XV.
After evolution and domestication, people have obtained fish species with very high water requirements, and they have been unable to adapt to the natural living environment.
Do you know? There are more than 300 kinds of goldfish today, and some goldfish enthusiasts will choose some of the colorful fish species from those genetically mutated fish species to participate in beauty contests.
Also used as ornamental fish species are koi, which have also been selected by koi breeders.
The fleshy, chubby silkworm baby is so beautiful after turning into a butterfly.
Silkworm babies will become silkworms after spitting silk cocoons, and silkworms can provide silk for humans. Silkworms are also domesticated and can no longer survive in the wild.
These domestic animals are described in detail in the book How Wolves Evolved into Dogs, a picture book that details the evolutionary history and domestication of 13 species of domestic animals, including dogs, cats, sheep, horses, pigs, rabbits, chickens, goats, cows, ducks, goldfish, etc. The ancestors of these domestic animals were once wild animals.
How each animal was domesticated and evolved into the animals of today, with authoritative and credible content and easy to understand language.
Not only is there a comparison between ancient and modern times, but through the comparison of specific varieties of two different eras, we can also find the difference between the two.
The author is the scientific authority Jean Baptiste de Panafe, who is also a PhD, professor, director and screenwriter of science documentaries in France. His works such as "Evolution", "Animal Evolution Adventures", and "Nature's Adventures: Bugs of the City" have been translated into many languages and published in various countries in the world.
Large folio design, full-color hardcover, good reading experience. The image of each small animal is realistic, and the color matching is simple and beautiful.
