Description
Dogs in a World Without Humans: Imagining the Lives of Canines in a Humanless World. What would happen to dogs if humans were to disappear? Would they be able to survive on their own, or would they struggle to adapt to a world without humans? In this thought-provoking book, the authors explore the possibilities of a world where dogs are left to fend for themselves. The book delves into the current state of dogs, revealing surprising facts about their diversity and the ways in which they exploit human habitats. It then uses evolutionary biology to imagine what dogs might become, biologically, if they were no longer subject to human influence. The authors consider questions such as whether dogs would revert to their wolf ancestors, maintain their evolved socio-cognitive skills, or interact with other animals in new ways. By exploring this hypothetical scenario, the authors raise important questions about the impact of humans on dogs and the ethics of keeping them as pets. This book offers a fascinating and insightful look at the lives of dogs and their potential future in a world without humans.
