Eating Meat Made Us Human, Suggests New Skull Fossil:
http://www.livescience.com/23671-eating-meat-made-us-human.html
“Fragments of a 1.5-million-year-old skull from a child recently found in Tanzania suggest early hominids weren't just occasional carnivores but regular meat eaters, researchers say."
Human Characteristics: Tools & Foods:
http://humanorigins.si.edu/human-characteristics/tools-food
“Early humans in East Africa used hammerstones to strike stone cores and produce sharp flakes. For more than 2 million years, early humans used these tools to cut, pound, crush, and access new foods—including meat from large animals."
Probing Question: What is a molecular clock?:
http://news.psu.edu/story/141281/2008/11/17/research/probing-question-what-molecular-clock
“It doesn't tick, it doesn't have hands, and it doesn't tell you what time of day it is. But a molecular clock does tell time—on an epoch scale."
How Animal Domestication Works:
http://animals.howstuffworks.com/animal-facts/animal-domestication3.htm
“How a wolf could transform from suspicious, wild beast to obedient, cuddly Fido may seem mystifying or even unbelievable."
Ancient Wolf DNA Could Solve Dog Origin Mystery:
http://www.livescience.com/50928-wolf-genome-dog-ancient-ancestor.html
“Humans and dogs were constant companions well before our ancestors settled in villages and started growing crops 10,000 years ago, a new study suggests."
Humans May Have Domesticated Dogs Tens of Thousands of Years Earlier Than Thought:
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/humans-may-have-domesticated-dogs-24000-years-earlier-thought-180955374/?no-ist
“Dogs are so in tune with humans now that they can tell if their owners are happy or angry. That close relationship that has existed since before they helped early humans take down mammoths."
The Big Search to Find Out Where Dogs Come From:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/19/science/the-big-search-to-find-out-where-dogs-come-from.html?_r=1
“Before humans milked cows, herded goats or raised hogs, before they invented agriculture, or written language, before they had permanent homes, and most certainly before they had cats, they had dogs."
Opinion: We Didn’t Domesticate Dogs. They Domesticated Us.:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/03/130302-dog-domestic-evolution-science-wolf-wolves-human
“In the story of how the dog came in from the cold and onto our sofas, we tend to give ourselves a little too much credit. The most common assumption is that some hunter-gatherer with a soft spot for cuteness found some wolf puppies and adopted them."
