A Feedback Loop Between Human Self-Domestication and Dog Domestication Contributing to Language Evolution?

2020-03-15

Abstract excerpt

Different factors seemingly account for the emergence of present-day languages in our species. Human self-domestication has been recently invoked as one important force favouring language complexity mostly via a cultural mechanism. As a consequence, evolutionary changes impacting on aggression levels are expected to have fostered this process. Here we hypothesise about a positive effect of dog-human interactions o...
