| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on genetic and behavioral studies related to the domestication of dogs, including genomic analysis, animal-assisted therapy, social cognition, human-animal bond, genetic structure, oxytocin, behavioral traits, canine genetics, and an evolutionary view of domestication. The papers cover a wide range of topics such as the origin of domestic dogs, genetic evidence for dog domestication, the impact of pets on human health and psychological well-being, and the cognitive evolution in captive foxes as a correlated by-product of experimental domestication. |
