Viele US-Bürger schätzen die #Klimawirkung ihres Alltagsverhaltens falsch ein.
Laut einer Studie werden sichtbare Handlungen wie #Recycling überschätzt, während klimaschädlichere Aktivitäten wie #Fliegen, #Fleischkonsum oder der Besitz eines #Hundes unterschätzt werden.
Ursache sind mediale […]
#Deutschland ist auch, dass sich einige #Männer mehr Sorgen um die Rechte ihres #Hundes machen, als über die #Rechte ihrer #Partnerin.
Wirklich toll, was man so beim #Gassigehen mit dem #Senior (Bald 15) erlebt. Man geht im Tempo des #Hundes über einen Zebrastreifen und darf sich erst einmal von wütenden #Autofahrern anpöbeln lassen, weil sie spät dran wären. Früher #losfahren ist natürlich keine #Option.
Today I want to tell you about two sets of human footprints. The first (photo on the left), dated 26,000/28,000 years ago, found in the Chauvet cave, in France; the second (central photo), dated 21,000/23,000 years ago, found in White Sands National Park in New Mexico (USA). They are both human footprints, but with some substantial differences: the former are more ancient than the latter; the oldest (the French ones) are of a child accompanied by an ancient dog for almost 60 metres, the second are of humans of various ages, including children, accompanied by pawprints of various extinct animal species, such as Canis dirus (terrible wolf) and a giant sloth (chased and hunted by a human; photo on the right); the first are yet another testimony of how ancient the bond between dogs and humans is, the second are yet another testimony of how much older the landing of human beings on the American continent is, compared to what it was thought not many years ago.
We would have hoped to see dog tracks on ancient American soil 23,000 years ago, but that is not the case. This shows how the bond between mankind and dogs was not the same wherever our ancestors went; even then there were diversity of cultures, diversity of intentions and those who lived in a relatively stable area had more time to develop socio-emotional relationships with their dogs. This is what the French sapiens did, but also those who lived in eastern Siberia, while the explorers who traveled by sea to reach America (who knows what name it had for them) could not bring their domestic animals with them for logistical reasons (small boats), if they had any.
This is one of the many topics I will address in the third volume of ORIGINS, entitled MIGRATIONS, which I started writing a couple of months ago and which will talk about the dogs of south-eastern Asia, Siberia and the Americas from prehistory to the advent of the civilizations of those territories. In the meantime, if you like dogs from far away in time, you have at your disposal my three books '...AND DOG DECIDED TO MEET MAN' (on the origins of the domestic dog), 'ORIGINS - In search of ancient dog breeds ' (dogs from the final Paleolithic to ancient Greece) and ROMA CANES MUNDI (dogs from the Roman period).Alle the books are in paperback and electronic format, in english and italian (ORIGIN is also in French, Spanish and Russian)
