You have configured Jesus to fit your life. Not consciously, not maliciously, but you have done it nonetheless. The algorithm of your preferences, your comfort thresholds, your political loyalties, your financial anxieties — they all quietly shape the version of Jesus you bring to church, to prayer, and to your decisions. The result is a Jesus who agrees with you more than he challenges you, who blesses your plans more than he disrupts them, and who functions, if you are honest, more like a life coach than a Lord. Kyle Idleman, Senior Pastor at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville and author of the new book The Missing Messiah, joins me for a conversation that will do exactly what you are afraid this kind of conversation will do: poke the box. Kyle draws a precise and unflinching distinction between Christian culture and kingdom culture, between a transactional faith built around what Jesus can do for you and a transformational discipleship built around following him wherever he goes. We cover the algorithm Jesus keeps breaking, the compartmentalized faith that lets him rummage in your "religion drawer" but not your finances, your politics, or your relationships, and the specific consequence no one wants to name: that a domesticated, comfortable, cushy Jesus is not going to hold you when the hardest seasons of your life arrive. If your faith has never asked you to count the cost, that is not evidence of grace. It is evidence of a missing Messiah. This conversation will not make you feel better about where you are; it will make you want to go further. That is the invitation, and it requires something of you.

Did chimpanzees domesticate us? And if wild chimps don't exploit each other, why do captive chimps exploit humans? In this Jack Westin CARS Reading Skills Workshop, Usher and Molly break down the daily CARS passage "Chimpanzee Domestication" (April 29th), a surprisingly philosophical passage about the mutual relationship between humans and chimps that's way more nuanced than it first appears.Get started with our resources!
Vous avez dit "bizarre" ? C'est bien normal. Voici la première série de Baleine sous Gravillon consacrée à des espèces animales extraordinairement étranges.Dans cette troisième série "Bizarres", Marc et Marie-Juliette se penchent sur 5 animaux au développement étrange : au moins une étape de leur existence possède des caractéristiques insolites, de la gestation à la fin de vie, en passant par la reproduction...Saviez-vous que Peter Pan existait pour de vrai ?Dans le règne animal, certaines espèces conservent en effet des caractéristiques juvéniles tout au long de leur vie : c'est la "néoténie". C'est le cas notamment des espèces domestiquées par l'humain : regardez un chien, il aboie, joue et bat de la queue toute sa vie alors que chez son ancêtre sauvage le Loup, ces comportements sont exclusifs aux tout-petits. Mais ce n'est pas tout : Homo sapiens lui-même est probablement une espèce néoténique : nous jouons toute notre vie, et contrairement aux autres grands singes, nous conservons la tête ronde, la toute petite mâchoire et la peau glabre de notre enfance.Quel rapport avec la domestication ? Selon certains scientifiques, Homo sapiens n'aurait pas seulement domestiqué loups, sangliers et autres chats : il se serait également domestiqué lui-même, d'où sa transformation en éternel adolescent (un peu neuneu par ailleurs, car en 50 000 ans, notre espèce aurait perdu, via ce processus "d'auto-domestication", 10 % de sa masse cérébrale).Cependant, attention : néoténie n'est pas toujours synonyme de domestication. Bien au contraire.Dans ce deuxième épisode, nous nous attardons sur la plus grande star de la néoténie, endémique du lac de Xochimilco au Mexique : l'Axolotl.Ce "monstre d'eau" (c'est ce que veut dire son nom en nahuatl) est un amphibien cousin des tritons et des salamandres, qui garde très souvent une apparence de djeuns toute sa vie : vous savez, on dirait qu'ils ont une couronne de plumes autour de la tête, un peu comme les Na'vi du dernier Avatar. En réalité, cette coiffure sont ses branchies, normalement réservés aux têtards ! Mais grâce à cette conservation de leur caractères juvéniles, les Axolotl peuvent rester toute leur existence dans l'eau tout en se reproduisant. Et surtout, vivre plus longtemps : si certains adultes vont au bout de leur puberté, notamment en cas d'assèchement de leur point d'eau, ils ne peuvent survivre ainsi que 5 ans, contre 15 en mode néoténique...Pour en savoir davantage sur la néoténie, voici l'épisode de la série de BSG "La bête en nous" consacré à ce sujet avec Jessica Serra, éthologue, ainsi que l'épisode de Mécaniques du Vivant sur l'autodomestication humaine.___SOURCES :Vignette : Axolotl en aquarium, (©Tim Flach pour National Geographic)Extraits :01'09 : Peter Pan, Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson & Hamilton Luske, 1953 (©Walt Disney Pictures)11'28: Mécaniques du Vivant, saison 5 épisode 4 : "Homo sapiens s'est-il auto-domestiqué ?", 2024 (©France Culture)Hébergé par Ausha.

Pourquoi ? Quelle différence entre apprivoisé et domestiqué ? Il est en effet possible d'apprivoiser un animal sauvage non domestiqué. Pour être domestiqué, il faut qu'il y ait un contrôle de la reproduction et une modification morphologique sur la descendance.

You've probably said it — "Nobody wants to work anymore." But what if the problem isn't your people? What if it's a management model from 1911 that somehow ended up running your practice?The Model You Never Chose — There's a reason your team does exactly what's asked and not one thing more. It was designed that way — over a century ago, by someone who never met a hygienist.The Finished Product Fallacy — You've already written off at least one person who could have transformed your practice. This is the belief that made you do it.Domestication vs. Activation — Two ways to lead in 2026. Most owners are running the first one without knowing it. The second one builds something DSOs, AI, and your competitors cannot touch.Listen now — because while you're reading this, your best team member is quietly deciding whether your practice is still worth their best. You have a smaller window than you think.

Culture tells women that choosing home, family, and softness means giving something up. That to be domesticated is to be oppressed, outdated, or diminished. But what if that narrative is wrong? What if the life the world calls “small” is actually sacred?In this episode, I'm reframing domestication through a spiritual lens. Not as submission without agency, but as intentional stewardship. We talk about the fear of losing identity, the shift from independence to interdependence in marriage, and why caring for a home and family is not passive work, but powerful, purpose-filled responsibility. I share how becoming a wife and mother changed my view of success, ambition, and fulfillment, and why the quiet work that no one applauds is often the work God honors most.If you've ever felt tension around choosing family, homemaking, or a slower, softer life, this conversation is for you. Domestication is not about shrinking. It's about building. And there is nothing more sacred than that.

As we continue our series on the different flavors that each grain brings. We dive into Wheat this episode. The abundance of it, it's many uses. And it's flavor contribution to a whiskey, and the world. I hope you enjoy and Be BlessedBadmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Wheat is a global staple because of its high yields, extreme climate adaptability, and exceptional shelf stability. In the world of whiskey, it acts as a "gentling agent," transforming the spirit's character from bold and spicy to soft and approachable. Why Wheat is So AbundantExtreme Adaptability: Wheat grows in diverse climates across six continents, from sub-arctic regions in Scandinavia to subtropical zones in Africa.High Efficiency: Modern hybrid varieties have significantly increased production yields while maintaining a stable harvested area.Long Shelf Life: When kept dry, wheat seeds are shelf-stable for years, a historical necessity for surviving droughts and famines.Ease of Cultivation: Unlike more labor-intensive crops like rice, wheat is relatively easy to grow in massive amounts. Wheat's Contributions to WhiskeyMellowed Flavor Profile: Replacing spicy rye with wheat in a mash bill (creating "wheated bourbon") removes peppery notes, allowing the natural sweetness of corn to shine through.Soft Mouthfeel: Wheat contributes a creamy, velvety, or "pillowy" texture to the liquid, often described as a "rounded" mouthfeel.Distinct Aromas: It typically imparts notes of honey, vanilla, caramel, and freshly baked bread.Graceful Aging: Wheat's gentle nature allows it to interact harmoniously with charred oak, letting barrel notes like toffee and toasted coconut emerge without being overshadowed by heavy spice.Approachability: Because it is less aggressive on the palate, wheated whiskeys (like Maker's Mark) are frequently recommended as entry points for beginners. 1. The "Cradle" and Ancient FoundersGeographic Origin: Wheat was first domesticated around 10,000–12,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, particularly in modern-day southeastern Turkey and parts of the Levant.Ancestor Species: It began with wild Einkorn and Emmer, two of the "eight founder crops" of the Neolithic Revolution.The "Accidental" Harvest: Hunter-gatherers initially gathered wild grains that shattered easily. Domestication happened when humans unknowingly selected mutant strains with a "tough rachis", which kept the seeds attached to the stalk rather than scattering them, making large-scale harvesting possible.2. Genetic ComplexityPolyploidy (Genome Merging): Unlike many plants, wheat has a massive, complex genome. Modern bread wheat is "hexaploid," meaning it contains six copies of its genes. This resulted from natural hybridization events between different wild grass species and ancestral wheats over thousands of years.Resulting Adaptability: This genetic "super-stacking" gave wheat the ability to adapt to almost any climate, from the sub-arctic to the sub-tropics.3. The Shift to CivilizationPermanent Settlements: Because wheat could be easily stored for years, humans were no longer forced to follow seasonal food sources. This surplus led to permanent villages, specialized labor (like potters and bakers), and eventually the first empires in Mesopotamia and Egypt.Industrial and Green Revolutions:In the 1870s, the steel roller mill allowed for the mass production of white flour.In the 1950s–60s, Norman Borlaug (the "Father of the Green Revolution") developed semi-dwarf, high-yield varieties that doubled global production and saved millions from starvation.4. From Bread to the BottleColonial Impact: European settlers brought wheat to the Americas in the late 15th century. By the 1800s, the U.S. Great Plains became the world's "breadbasket."
All the pups we love—from chihuahuas to great danes—are descendants of the mighty gray wolf. But how did we end up with so many breeds? The story that's often told is that dog diversity really took off with the Victorians in the 1800s, but new research is unleashing a different tale. Host Flora Lichtman talks with bioarchaeologist Carly Ameen about the diversification of dogs. Plus, a long-running experiment to tame silver foxes is cluing us into how domestication happens. Canine researcher Erin Hecht gives us a glimpse into the experiment and what it tells us about domesticated brains.Guests:Dr. Carly Ameen is a bioarcheologist and lecturer at the University of Exeter in England.Dr. Erin Hecht is an evolutionary biologist at Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The human genetic history of South Asia has been shaped by its pivotal location at the crossroads of East and West Eurasia, dramatic landscapes such as the Himalayas, and longstanding socio-cultural practices like endogamy. A consequence is the diversity of East and West Eurasian genetic ancestral lineages found in South Asians today. Maanasa Raghavan, professor at the University of Chicago, explains that the increasing genome-wide data from ancient and present-day humans are providing emerging insights into the demographic processes that underlie present-day genetic diversity of South Asians and how they interface with evidence from archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, and oral histories. Human history in South Asia is also closely intertwined with the animals that humans domesticated, traded, and moved with them, offering yet another window into the dynamics of human mobility and connectivity in the past. Raghavanon's talk focuses on ancient and modern DNA insights into the origins of present-day human genetic diversity in South Asia, evolutionary history of domesticates, and broader implications for our understanding of human movements and interactions across Eurasia.

What does it mean to be a wild animal in a world dominated by humans? A recent study found that city-dwelling raccoons' snouts are getting shorter—a sign of domestication. Another study on dark-eyed juncos living on a Los Angeles college campus found that their beaks changed shape during the COVID-19 lockdown, when there wasn't as much food and trash on campus. Evolutionary biologist Pamela Yeh and animal domestication expert Raffaela Lesch join Host Flora Lichtman to discuss how wildlife is evolving in urban areas, what it means to be domesticated, and when we can expect to have a pet raccoon sleeping at the foot of the bed. Guests:Dr. Pamela Yeh is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at UCLA.Dr. Raffaela Lesch is an assistant professor of biology at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

This event is related to 19 Washington Square North's Faculty Fellows Program. The apple tree (Malus domestica) is one of the world's most iconic fruit crops, with profound cultural, economic, and ecological significance. Yet many questions remain about its origins, its domestication history, and its ability to withstand the challenges of climate change. Recent advances in population genomics have revealed that cultivated apples carry a complex legacy shaped by multiple wild relatives, human selection, and historical events across Eurasia. At the same time, wild apple species — the genetic reservoirs for future resilience — are increasingly endangered, particularly in Europe. This talk explores how combining genomic data, ecological experiments, and conservation initiatives can help us understand both the past and the future of apples. By linking evolutionary history to applied challenges, these approaches highlight new opportunities for breeding and conservation, and point the way towards climate-resilient apples. More broadly, they demonstrate how research at the intersection of genomics and ecology can inform climate-resilient agriculture and biodiversity conservation. Speaker Amandine Cornille, Associate Professor, Division of Science and 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellow, NYUAD In collaboration with NYU Abu Dhabi Institute
Episode: 1499 Domestic animals: A tricky marriage between human and beast. Today, we try to domesticate a wild animal.
This episode is a repeat of episode 301.In this episode, Trevor delves into a rich tapestry of moral philosophy and practical ethics. The discussion begins with a panel reflecting on the origins of morals, referencing an earlier episode that featured a conversation with Peter, The 12th Man, and Hugh Harris. The talk revisits various perspectives on morality, including the implications of the Judeo-Christian ethic and its historical development. Franz Mair's views on societal constructs and spirituality, as well as debates on contentious figures like Jordan Peterson, are examined. The second part features an in-depth book review of 'Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?' by Michael J. Sandel. The host explores different moral frameworks, such as utilitarianism, libertarianism, and Aristotle's perspectives on justice. Through various analogies and case studies, including price gouging, military honours, and historical instances of societal dilemmas, the host elucidates the nuanced approaches to justice and moral reasoning advocated by Sandel. The episode concludes with reflections on community responsibility, individual freedom, and the role of moral judgment in creating a just society.00:00 Introduction to the Book Review00:47 Recap of Episode 238: Origins of Morals01:56 Discussion on Judeo-Christian Ethic04:53 Jordan Peterson's Views on Morality07:53 The Golden Rule Across Cultures12:30 Greek Philosophy: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle25:41 Stoicism and Its Influence on Christianity28:07 The Ten Commandments and Mosaic Law30:04 The Story of Muhammad's Negotiation31:41 The Ark of the Covenant and the Babylonian Exile32:47 The Return and Rigid Rules of the Jews34:14 The Evolution of Jewish Law and Morality35:27 The Bible as a Collection of Historical Stories39:22 The Concept of Heaven and the Evolution of Jewish Thought49:03 The Domestication of Humans and Evolution of Morality01:00:23 The Good Samaritan and Inherent Altruism01:01:22 Exploring the Trolley Problem01:02:15 The Organ Donation Dilemma01:03:02 Nuclear Codes and Moral Reasoning01:03:47 Utilitarianism vs. Deontological Ethics01:05:23 Inaction Bias and Moral Dilemmas01:07:47 Community Standards and Legal Theory01:09:39 Alpha Males and Wealth Tax01:11:33 Foundations of Morality01:12:27 The Ultimatum Game and Fairness01:14:39 Objective Moral Values and Reasoning01:25:57 Neanderthals and Social Cooperation01:29:20 Michael J.

durée : 00:26:56 - LSD, la série documentaire - Une domestication hors norme : celle d'un animal qui n'a jamais vraiment obéi
Sometime around 5,500 years ago, an event took place on the Eurasian steppes that fundamentally changed the world. We don't know who did it or exactly when it took place, but it was one of the single greatest moments in all of human history. It ushered in revolutions in agriculture, transportation, and warfare, and its impact can still be witnessed around the world today.

In this episode, I take you into the rich terrain that I have been living inside for much of this past year. I speak about how our biology and nervous systems were not designed for the amount of input, data, and stimulation we are attempting to metabolize each day. This often leads many of us to choose behaviors that help numb the overwhelm.It is a smart strategy, but it comes with a cost. Numbing pulls us out of our own lives. It creates distance in our relationships and leaves us with a quiet loneliness beneath our strength, alongside a deeper ache that keeps calling for our attention.This episode is the origin story of the Revealing Wisdom Collective, a weekly sanctuary where we strengthen the nervous system, awaken the deeper self, and let buried wisdom rise.Inside the Collective, we move through one Power Gateway at a time over the course of two full months, following a deliberate rhythm designed to soften the mind, loosen subconscious limiting beliefs, and integrate new truths into the body and bones. Doors for this membership offering opens January 13, 2026 - join anytime and catch up on through recorded sessions.Inside the Episode:• the loneliness that can stay hidden even when we are surrounded by people• why numbing is an innocent biological response, not a personal failing• the cost of living in a world that moves far faster than our nervous systems were designed to handle• how subtle freeze states disconnect us from intuition, aliveness, and self trust• the personal journey that required me to pause, slow down, and radically tend to my own system• how the Revealing Wisdom Collective was born from that deep winter of listeningA look at the Six Power Gateways inside the CollectiveCentering PowerThe power that returns you to your inner axis, the quiet, unwavering ground beneath every emotion, every choice, every storm.Relational PowerThe ability to stay rooted in yourself while meeting another with presence, transparency, and clean energetic boundaries.Self Acceptance PowerThe liberating capacity to stop waging war against yourself and to meet your humanity with tenderness, truth, and self regard.Wild PowerThe sovereign, undomesticated intelligence that dissolves internalized hierarchy, obedience, and shame so your original vitality can rise.Intuitive PowerThe subtle inner channel where truth arrives before thought, the deep knowing that guides you through mystery, timing, and right action.Erotic PowerThe sacred life force that animates your creativity, desire, vitality, and full spectrum expression, not only sexual, but inherently alive.If you have been longing for a place where you do not have to hold everything alone, where your tenderness and your power are both welcome, the Revealing Wisdom Collective was created for you.Join us here → https://www.revealingwisdom.com/collectiveOr stay connected through the Revealing Wisdom NewsletterConnect with Anne-Marie Marron: - If you have a power reclamation story to share or questions, please send them to Ask Anne-Marie https://anne-mariemarron.com/ask- Find Anne-Marie on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/anne.marie.marron/- If you wonder whether Power Reclamation Coaching is for you, book a discovery call https://calendly.com/anne-marie-marron/30-minute-consultation- For more on customized immersions with Anne-Marie, please visit: https://anne-mariemarron.com/integral-leadership-immersion
Genetic history of dog domestication Science Sessions are brief conversations with cutting-edge researchers, National Academy members, and policymakers as they discuss topics relevant to today's scientific community. Learn the behind-the-scenes story of work published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), plus a broad range of scientific news about discoveries that affect the world around us. In this episode, researchers explore the impact of domestication on dog genetics and behavior. In this episode, we cover: •[00:00] Introduction •[01:00] Greger Larson explains how the history of gene flow between dogs and their wild relatives differs from what we know about other domestic species. •[02:38] Audrey Lin finds that low levels of wolf ancestry are found in almost two thirds of dog breeds. •[04:18] Linus Girdland Flink documents evidence of two genetic wolves on a remote Scandinavian island that may have been under human control. •[06:13] Clément Car explores how the mating systems of free-ranging village dogs could provide insight into canine domestication •[07:43] Katia Bougiouri explains how she used a statistical method to improve ancient genomes and what her results reveal about the history of inbreeding in dogs. •[09:21] Lachie Scarsbrook explains how he used museum specimens to reconstruct the history of inbreeding in German Shepherd Dogs. •[11:10] Eleanor Raffan analyzes genetic data and owner-submitted behavioral questionaries from 1,343 golden retrievers. •[12:54] Kathryn Lord finds that genetic testing cannot accurately predict canine behaviors. •[14:25] Final thoughts and conclusion.

Have you ever wanted a pet raccoon? Well, here’s a possible sign that dream is slowly approaching: a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Zoology suggests raccoons are getting closer to domestication. The study is not definitive yet, and more research is required. But it all has to do with researchers observing a shorter snout on the animals we affectionately refer to as trash pandas.

Alejandro Sánchez Alvarado, Ph.D., argues that real progress in understanding regeneration comes from studying whole organisms rather than cells grown under artificial conditions. Sánchez Alvarado shows how observations from intact animals reveal organizing rules that narrow laboratory systems can miss. He presents evidence that stem cells in a studied animal lack detectable junctions with neighboring cells and instead respond to signals that travel across tissues. Sánchez Alvarado links this communication to extracellular vesicles that carry RNA and to metabolic support involving creatine, highlighting how distant tissues influence repair. Using imaging and molecular analyses, he tracks how signals move through the body and how specific cell populations change state during recovery. Sánchez Alvarado concludes that broad, comparative research is essential for uncovering general principles that govern how adult tissues restore form and function.

1/8. The Wild Turkey, the Bald Eagle, and the Illogical Nature of Bird Names — Steven Moss — Moss introduces the Wild Turkey, discussing its successful reestablishment in New England and its domestication origin in southern Mexico. Moss critiques the turkey's nomenclature as fundamentally illogical, derived from historical confusion involving exotic trade routes through Asia Minor. Moss examines the Bald Eagle as a scavenger species that symbolizes predatory power and dominance. Moss notes that Benjamin Franklin reportedly argued the Wild Turkey should have been designated America's national bird instead. Moss further documents how the eagle was subsequently appropriated as a sinister political symbol by authoritarian regimes, most infamously by Nazi Germany. 1859

Like many episodes of The GoodKind Podcast, we're talking about family today... specifically about the furry friends that might (or might not) be considered family, too. Clayton, Amy, and Chris are wading into the wildly opinionated world of pets — from Christmas-card dogs to pet strollers to whether animals have “personalities” or souls. What starts as a silly debate (“Are pets human?”) turns into a surprisingly reflective conversation about companionship, responsibility, family rhythms, and why so many people invest deeply in their animals.The hosts discuss the fine line between domestication and humanization, why dogs are basically analog antidotes to screen time, and the unexpected ways pets can teach gentleness, care, and even play. They share their own pet histories — from Chicken Alfredo the dog to Lucy the portrait-taking Shih Tzu — and wrap with the real benefits pets can bring to a home when kept in the right perspective.This episode is equal parts comedy, conviction, and honest parenting conversation. Whether you're a dog devotee, a reluctant pet parent, or a “hard no” on lizards in Christmas photos…you'll find something to laugh about (and maybe rethink).TakeawaysPeople often treat pets as if they're human—and that's a genuine cause for concern.Domestication has historically been functional; “pets as companions” is a modern phenomenon.There's a difference between a pet and a replacement for human connection.Pets can provide non-screen fun, play, and even stress relief.Caring for an animal can teach kids gentleness, responsibility, and empathy.Dogs can bring families outdoors, increase activity, and promote healthy rhythms.Pets introduce joy, consistency, and analog moments in an overly digital world.

Liam shares details of the breeding process, going in depth on genetics, lineage, breeding for certain traits, and much more. He even discusses more controversial topics such as inbreeding, overall domestication for captive reptiles, and culling species in different ways. He also touches on husbandry as it relates to hybrid species. If you're interested in the ins and outs of breeding and the science behind it, this episode is a great watch!SHOW NOTES: https://www.animalsathomenetwork.com/238-liam-sinclair/SPONSORS: Visit Fauna-Lux Here: https://fauna-lux.com/JOIN US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/animalsathomeLINKS FROM THE EPISODE:Thumbnail pictures from: https://www.facebook.com/MilksnakeMutations/Reptiles & Research YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ReptilesandResearchReptiles & Research Website: https://reptilesandresearch.org/aboutTime Stamps:0:00 Introducing Liam Sinclair of Reptiles & Research1:46 True Chroma by Faunalux2:46 Welcome Liam + All About The New Hybrid7:40 Selection Processes + Domestication17:40 Localities + The Road to Domestication23:07 Criticism of Morph Trade27:35 Inbreeding Can Produce Healthier Animals31:18 Culling Breeding Animals33:45 Breeding Program Goals34:14 Animals At Home Patreon34:35 Breeding Program Goals + Conversation About Breeds39:25 Hobby Species + Wild Types42:50 Purpose of Domestication45:24 This Week's Hatching Result + Breeding Desire49:14 Hybrid Species Explanation53:20 MH Complex in Breeding55:20 Corn Snakes Are Hybrids + “Pure” Lines1:06:00 How To Keep “Pure” Species1:09:10 Hybridization Boundaries + Ethics1:13:10 Ellie's New Clutch + Health Priorities1:19:15 More On Domestication1:24:14 Hybrid Species In Future Plans1:26:40 Approaching Hybrid Husbandry1:28:23 Adapting Liam's Viewpoint To What It Is Today1:34:48 Closing Thoughts
Sometime around 11,000 years ago, somewhere in the Middle East or Central Asia, someone figured out how they could keep wild sheep and breed them. This simple act had enormous consequences for humanity. It improved food production, revolutionized the production of clothing, and even influenced the development of writing. Fast forward over 10,000 years, and sheep are still a significant part of the economies of several nations.

My guest is Dr. Karolina Westlund, Ph.D., a professor of ethology at the University of Stockholm and an expert in animal emotions and behavior who uses science-based methods to improve the lives of animals in human care. We discuss the often overlooked needs of domesticated animals—primarily dogs and cats—and the things we can do to improve their well-being and our relationship with them. We cover how to interpret animal body language, the unique needs of specific dog breeds, and the needs of cats and birds. We also discuss the pros and cons of spaying and neutering and how weaning age impacts a pet's attachment style. Whether you're a pet owner, trainer, or simply an animal lover, this episode teaches you how specific pet behaviors are rooted in their immutable biology—and the simple things you can do to vastly improve your pets' health and well-being, as well as your relationship with them.
