Where there's a will there's a way, though. I'm sure that the early days of inviting wolves into our homes went wrong occasionally, but now it's a pretty popular thing. We bent them to our will.
- the_af 1y agoThe domestication of wolves was probably not initially "an idea", it just happened that scavenging wolves nearby humans became less afraid and started following them. Mobile waste collectors plus early warning systems. If at some point humans had articulated this into "an idea", they would have seen it as a good idea. Which it would have been, since it's unrelated to wolves attacking humans. It's not that humans said "hey, let's go pet a wolf pup, I'm sure their parents won't mind!".
