For the Psychology-inclined

Heard this on the radio today.
quite interesting.

A new study shows that dogs and young human babies both make the same classic error in a famous psychology experiment � while wolves raised by people do not.

because dogs are inbred weaklings tame and domesticated over time while wolves still have that carnivora killer instinct which they need to survive. Humans are like domesticated dogs. Its a longer lasting nurture response if i had to put my finger on it.

Many breeds of domestic dogs are bred to be perpetually puppy-like, friendly and playful rather than naturally wary and "serious" like grown wolves.

Grown humans are friendly and playful like puppies? Not most of the time in my experience.

Have they tested this on babies of the spartan variety?

Wow, this is like right in time. I'm in a psych class right now and I have to find a current psych article, and this is really cool. Thanks for doing my homework
