    I was wondering the other day if humans do colonise the moon or Mars, at what stage we would try and bring dogs with us.

    this made me think about trying to put a dog into a space suit in zero G and how hard / hilarious it will be. Elon Musk better film this.

    "And for those of you people who don't like dogs, go get fucked. Something's wrong with you, you're defective as a human. Humans and dogs have evolved together, and somewhere, you dropped out of that process." - Mark Rippetoe

    There are some archeo-anthropologists who believe that dogs were the reason the Cro-Magnons won out over the Neanderthals. At one time it was thought that the Neanderthals never hooked up with dogs, but there's circumstantial evidence now that it might have happened here and there, but wasn't widespread. Not enough to give the Neanderthals an edge, anyway.

    A dog is force multiplier. He will defend you, your campsite, your mate, and your children. He will attack your enemies. And he will go with your into the dark places where the bad things are.

    Yes, my youngest daughter's husband often has to work the night shift driving a semi. She'll call me sometimes saying she's afraid of some sound or something she heard outside. She's got two baby boys so that probably has her on high alert too.

    I reminded her, the two German Shepherds she has, as sweet and playful as they are, if someone tried to FA, they'll find out real quick!

    A partially domesticated Dog isn't going to be useful against what's functionally a Gorilla/Man hybrid that's bigger faster stronger and just as smart if not smarter than you. Dogs were undoubtedly useful but I don't think they would have played a meaningful part in Neanderthals dying out.

    We're inferring that the dog played a role in the success of the Cro Magnons thereby lending an advantage the Neanderthals didn't have. This didn't always mean one on one combat with a Neanderthal. If you could turn your back to fish and not have a critter take your baby, that was an advantage. They didn't even have to battle game, they just had to help us find it more often. Or help us pack out the game. Less calorie use to get more calories. There's actually studies on that, by the way, the increase in the amout of meat working with dogs nets a hunter. It's not insignificant. And when they didn't necessarily increase the kill they did decrease the time it took to get it.

    Gorilla man hybrid? If I had a Nerf gun you'd definitely have gotten shot in the forehead for that.
