i know that dogs evolved from wolves?

Question

even then dogs only have a bite strength of 320lb compared to wolves 1500lb(more than ten times stronger than humans) why?

Answer 1

Whether you're talking about dogs, sheep, cows, goats, pigs or water buffalo, there are consistent differences between the wild and domesticated forms. Compared with their wild cousins, most domestic mammals tend to be smaller, have shorter snouts, smaller brains and are more likely to be piebald or solid in color; they are more docile, reproduce at a younger age, have larger litters and have reproductive schedules, such as multiple breeding seasons in a single year, that differ from those of wild animals.

In Crockford's view, the less fearful wolves would thrive near settlements, scavenging garbage middens and filching meat from drying racks, breeding among themselves and reinforcing those attributes. Natural selection would favor canids with thyroxine levels that produce lower adrenal response. Any pups born with a more fearful nature would simply drift away from the villages, back into the wilderness. After just a few generations, she believes, the wolves living near humans would exhibit reproductive, physical and behavioral differences, triggered by their new thyroxine patterns, that would set them apart from their wilder counterparts. They would have become primitive dogs.

Answer 2

You need to look up the meaning of evolve - cause obviously dogs couldn't have evolved from wolves. A wolve can be considered a bread of dog I guess. Now most dogs aren't wild anymore, they are domesticated - that's all. Dogs haven't evolved at all in several years.

A wolf is stronger, a better fighter, better hunter, and smarter. So if an animal gets weaker, dummer, and dependent on humans you can't say they evolved.

Answer 3

Just as dogs may have evolved from ancient wolves, today's wolves similarly evolved from ancient wolves too. So you can't compare today's dogs to today's wolves.

Answer 4

It is just the way they are genetically programed. Not all dogs evolved from wolves.

Answer 5

Actually, it was a wolf-like ancester. Not the wolf of today. My breed is as old as wolves and coyotes, as are several others.

Answer 6

I do not think that is true, that all dogs evolved from wolfs.

Answer 7

LOOK I KNOW SOME MEN THAt are wolves

Answer 8

because humans feed dogs cereals -- they no longer need a strong bite

Answer 9

WOLFS GOT WEAKER WHEN THEY EVOLVED
