Humans generally place animals into different categories according to their use.

ANSWERS - all choices are correct
Researchers found that hunter-gatherers that use dogs today take good care of
all their dogs by providing food, medicine and shelter. - CORRECT
ANSWERS - False

ANSWERS - Early humans would not have been able to selectively breed or
train wild, uncooperative wolves.

Ice Age? - CORRECT ANSWERS - Hunting cooperatively in groups
Which is the likely sequence human-wolf symbiotic relationships that led to
domesticated dogs? - CORRECT ANSWERS - commensalism->mutualism ->
domestication
