Dogs are also guilty of adapting their natural behaviors to communicate with humans too, and it's really interesting. Things like eye-contact or being extra expressive with their "eyebrows"
My understanding is that wolves don't have "eyebrows" at all. The fact that many dogs have them is either an evolved or selected trait specifically to communicate with humans.
I think one theory is that they were sort of accidentally selected for because they made dogs appear more friendly or attentive, making them seem like a better fit for companionship.
Or how dogs react to the same side of the face as humans do. Think it’s the right side but can’t remember now.
