This seems like overthinking things. I'm just a layman but wild packs of monkeys have been observed to attract street dogs because they litter food all around them. I think that's a much more likely explanation, that human nomadic settlements dropped food around them during surplus times and wolves picked up on this and gradually became domesticated.
- leftbit 4y agoIt might have started as a symbiosis between wolves and a species of particulary greedy and dumb monkeys which thought it would be a good idea to fleece the wolves for fur parasites. Still humans love to pet dogs, and dogs enjoy it. ;)
