I'm not really a dog person myself but I have admiration for how unique dogs are in the history of humankind. The first domesticated animal and domesticate in general, the first non-human integration to what we consider society (even if, again, in a non-human role, but dogs are very much part of a family and a society). There has no other animal as changed by domestication, and virtually every human society from Eurasia to Africa to the Americas to Oceania has them. And also the fact that wolves must have been our closest parallels in the ice-age steppes, both highly social and complex apex hunters. It's really fascinating.

Ironically I was thinking about this when reading a book about the semi-domesticated hyenas of Harar, Ethiopia (Among The Bone Eaters by Baynes-Rock), where the authors makes the point that hyenas, like wolves, were also the other animal close to us, as in being socially complex predators. But unlike wolves, hyenas were feared and demonized. They were after all, scavengers in the night who lived in the same caves as us, ate from our graves and ate our children (this is in the archeological record by the way, there are many ancient humans with hyena bite marks). Hyenas are as big as wolves, with strange laughs and appearances. Wolves won our trust and became dogs, hyenas were displaced from Eurasia.

Yet as the hyenas of Harar demonstrate, they can have a role in human societies, and they could have even been domesticated. Our other favorite pet companion, after all, is another exclusive carnivore, nobody else than the domestic cat. Perhaps in the depth of history, there were human societies that formed kinship with hyenas, cheetahs, painted dogs, foxes, and other animals.

Ve, unaware that his daughter was born the very same day, plans to cook a jackrabbit for his bandit gang, feeling pretty sorry for himself. At least they camped in a shallow limestone doline, the latent moisture extending spring beyond the heat.

“Las universidades latinoamericanas forman, en pequeña escala, matemáticos, ingenieros y programadores que de todos modos no encuentran trabajo sino en el exilio: nos damos el lujo de proporcionar a los Estados Unidos nuestros mejores técnicos y los científicos más capaces, que emigran tentados por los altos sueldos y las grandes posibilidades abiertas, en el norte, a la investigación. Por otra parte, cada vez que una universidad o un centro de cultura superior intenta, en América Latina, impulsar las ciencias básicas para echar las bases de una tecnología no copiada de los moldes y los intereses extranjeros, un oportuno golpe de Estado destruye la experiencia bajo el pretexto de que así se incuba la subversión.”

-Eduardo Galeano, Las Venas Abiertas de América Latina
