I totally get that "the less a dog looks like a wolf.." notion. I guess that's why I've always preferred dogs like german shepherds and huskies. As domesticated dogs go, they don't look that far removed from their wolf ancestors. It actually kinda upsets me when I see breeds that are not only so far removed from their ancestors they barely even look like dogs anymore, but struggle with even the most basic of functions like walking or even breathing.

When he was reading Alex the parrots last words, I thought at the end he was gonna add "and as always, thanks for watching"

Alex the parrot there... I read that beyond all the counting and naming of objects, recognition and identification, there was one thing Alex did that was a mind-blowing moment for the researchers. In a session of practicing naming colours, where the researcher held up and object and Alex was to say "Red" or "Green" or whatever, Alex suddenly stopped, and looked at the researcher, and said... "what colour am I?" He'd never been taught to say that, he'd never been told he had a colour, he'd never been taught to ask questions, and like every other animal in history, he'd never before expressed curiosity at an aspect of his own existence. (Other animals may be aware of their own existence, but that's different.) "what colour am I?". Think about that for a moment. That level of cognition is... orders of magnitude above an elephant painting a picture of an elephant. Astronomically beyond solving a simple puzzle for a reward. And it blows using a stick to dig bugs out of the ground, right out of the water. By the way, they told him "Grey", to which he said "Grey... Alex is Grey."

At the time of Galileo's life Pisa was part of the Duchy of Florence, and then the Grand Duchy of Tuscany both of which were ruled by the very capable Medici family and were not conquered by Spanish interests, however both of which were also quite under the influence of the Pope.

I used to have a rabbit a few years ago, who has now passed, but I have a cool story. Basically, at my house, we have a back patio that is completely open to our backyard. We never kept our rabbit in a cage and let him roam freely around our house, so he was basically a cat. We also let him go outside. The odd part is that he never went into our backyard. He could've easily just run away from us, but he didn't. A rabbit isn't considered the smartest animal, but I still find it interesting that he never decided to leave. He could've just stayed for higher survival purposes, but he had the option every day to just leave. I dunno, but I still think it's very interesting to think about.

Well i am more of a cat and dog person, but i do have a rabbit story as well. I had a pet bunny once, and I too let him roam around the house often. However, he wouldn't let me walk anywhere or do anything...because he would always run in circles around me, thumping his back feet loudly on the floor. I finally had enough and checked the internet for answers. What i read made me uncomfortable. This is what the article said the rabbit was thinking when he ran around me in circles, thumping: "You have the sexiest feet! I want to have sex with your feet!" and then it told me what i should do: "sit down on your feet IMMEDIATELY!" true story.

We too once had a rabbit that basically was like a cat. I think she and her sister-rabbit were taken away from their mother way too early when they were sold to us because they were such tiny little things and got weaker and weaker and probably would have died if we didn't start bottle feeding them. The sister-rabbit died after a month or so but the other one lived. She was roaming around freely in the house and garden without running away or going into hiding, she would follow us around sometimes and she also wasn't afraid of my aunt's dog.

They may say that your pet only loves you because you feed them. And that may be true, but we only love our family members because they help us survive. We don't see it that way, because it's an illusion. So why is it that animals are primitive? Why is it that animals can't think the way we do? What if they do and we just can't communicate?

Little mistake: After 9:13 the animal you see running is a painted dog (Lycaon pictus), this specie is not closely related to our dogs (Canis lupus familiaris).

Brought to the vet and he said it is a result of selective breeding to maintain the breed's small size and short legs that led to weaker, maladaptive muscles. Moreover, living indoors with human walking on slippery marble and ceramic surfaces can only worsen the case. So cruelty or not, I wouldn't say human didn't at least went a little overboard in interfering with pet's health and genes...

Jackie Chin well, it sure isnt worse than it is for cows and sheeps, which were breed to be tastier and easier to kill (less agressive, more tame) IIRC there's a breed of sheep (or was it goats?) which has a genetic problem which causes it muscular paralisis or something when they are stressed, like when being chased or scared. They breed them so to keep that "feature" to it's easier to round up. Cows i dont know about any desease but i know the breed them to be weaker, with more fat in between muscular tissue, so all in all they are but a chunk of meat, all muscle with no fiber so its meat is tender, kept in a confined place so that they dont walk a lot and develop stronger muscles. As for pets i dont like dogs a lot, so i'll stick with my all white "maine coon + random street cat" which so far apart from being huge (pillow size) doesnt seem to have any health issues. The only selective breeding problem i see in it is that he has the dexterity of a rock, most likely for being so big. Seems cats dont escalate very well with bigger bodies. Smaller cats are faster and way more agile than bigger ones. Even if he is a cat he can jump as high as things i can climb onto. I have two more, one is a generic three colours one and another is a who knows what that appeared in our patio, all pearl black, and very muscular. He's not as big as my cat pillow but he's quite agile and really ripped, so much he almost doesnt have a neck

Well damn...... Poor kitties........

I can feel that you guys make these videos with love and joy! Great video!!!

I completely agree with your quote at 7:05 - "In some cases, it [pure- and extreme-breeding] has created unintended health problems, driving the Kennel Club's leading geneticists to believe that the less a dog looks like a wolf, the less it makes any sense." Can you refer me to the precise place you got this, please? Your Kennel Club link does not contain it.

ARCH PEACE Yep, agreed. Pure-breeding means closed gene pools and also implies "line-breeding," a euphemism for incest, which most plants and animals (including humans) naturally try to avoid for its tendency to increase the incidence of inherited disorders. There's also the issue of "extreme breeding," which includes traits like flat faces, short legs, droopy ears, deep wrinkles, etc. that are also really just genetic disorders that reduce the health of dogs - fundamentally no different from physiological problems, etc. Domestic wolves (dogs) really should remain overall somewhat similar to their wild cousins to remain healthy, and that includes avoiding inbreeding and extreme breeding. Village and mixed dogs tend to be healthier, because they tend have higher levels of genetic diversity. Those who still want variety should stop perpetuating weird traits, but they can have different dog landraces and types, which still serve a function (hunting, herding, etc), without being inbred. The dog and cat fancies should also learn from livestock breeders, who still have breeds, just not pure (genetically isolated) breeds.

Holy shit, seeing Rhett and Link and the end of a Vsauce video was like having all my fan fictions come true.

By far my favorite video I've ever seen on this channel. Such a phenomenal topic to make a video about as I think about this a lot. Keep it up Kevin!

The part about the birds final words put a tear in my eye. If that were my bird id be an absolute mess. IVE NEVER EVEN HAD A BIRD!

you can see Rhett trying not to laugh when link does the mouse voice haha

Everyone in these comments is like 'I almost cried from the parrot's last words', I ACTUALLY CRIED, OK? OK!? Idk why but I cried D'':

i did not expect rhett and link at the end...

Wow..the feels. Them feels! This was one awesome episode! Almost a year later, thank you for an awesome episode!

Very well produced, documented and interesting! I really enjoyed watching this video! Therefore, I'll keep watching your awesome episodes! Thanks!

This was one of the best Vsauce2 videos I've seen in a long time. Great Job....

Was not expecting Rhett & Link to be here, lol.

I love all your vids, but this one's my new favorite! thanks Kevin!

Wow, I haven't been that engaged in an informative video ever. That's really awesome. Keep the good videos coming!

I was brushing my teeth when you gave the parrots last words and I felt such sadness washing over me.

Very good! My chihuahua points at things she wants you to see and she jumps up on you and puts her paw on your lips, when she wants you to be quiet. She wasn't ever trained for this, she just does these things. She is also very expressive and anyone can tell when she is sad or happy, or even if she is just being cheeky. So, I agree with you. Animals love us for being us and they are aware that we care for them too.

"You be good, see you tomorrow, I love you." THAT THERE IS FUCKING SAD.

Ruined it with the mention of cat memes at the end, but then brought it back with Rhett and Link reading that story, those guys are great

The amount of work you put in your videos are amazing keep it up looking froward to you future videos.

Love Vsause so much, thank YOU Kevin you make excellent points and an amazing presentation!
