It stands to firm reason that this symbiotic living was reached by humans at a similar point in our development.
- tambourine_man 4y agoI never knew that. Kind of unsettling to watch.

- BitwiseFool 4y agoI'm not sure we can properly say these monkey troops are domesticating dogs. Mainly because dogs, even feral ones, exist as a product of past domestication by humans. They are already much more docile and ready to accept other species inside of their social hierarchy. I have a feeling that if these monkeys were around wolves there would not be any interaction resembling domestication.
