"Dévouées au travail" 📻🎧

Julien Debonneville : Le travail des agences de recrutement est de traduire les attentes des employeur·es en termes de compétences […] avec l'idée que les femmes des campagnes sont plus "dévouées au travail".

#Dog #domestication happened many times, but most didn’t pan out
#Dogs that share our homes today are descendants of a single group of #wolves that lived in #Siberia about 23,000 years ago. But for thousands of years after that, line between #wolf and dog wasn’t clear-cut. Study shows long after dogs had spread into Eurasia and Americas, people living in what is now Alaska still spent time with—and fed bizarre mix of dogs, wolves, dog-wolf hybrids, and even some coyotes.

Human/canid relations in subarctic #Alaska, going back to the end of the #Pleistocene. Paper on the antiquity of this bond and the multiple ways it manifested in interior Alaska, a region key to understanding the peopling of the Americas and early northern lifeways.

'...Results show that in contrast to canids recovered in non-anthropic contexts, canids recovered in association with human occupations are markedly diverse. They include multiple species and intraspecific lineages, morphological variation, and diets ranging from terrestrial to marine. This variation is expressed along both geographic and temporal gradients, starting in the terminal Pleistocene with canids showing high marine dietary estimates. This paper provides evidence of the multiple ecological relationships between canids and people in the north—from predation, probable commensalism, and taming, to domestication—and of their early onset.'

I get really confused by the far-right "Hard times make strong men" trope because when we breed things that are the most ammenable to humans they get floppy ears, curvy tails, and spotted coats and tongues. The most human adapted animals we can make are puppies and cows. Not some super strong Spartan or imperial Sarduakar. Not stoicism.

It's puppy girls we are the epitomy of humanity.

#AncientDNA brings to life history of the iconic #aurochs, whose tale is intertwined with climate change and human culture

EurekAlert!Ancient DNA brings to life history of the iconic aurochs, whose tale is intertwined with climate change and human cultureGeneticists from Trinity College Dublin, together with an international team of researchers, have deciphered the prehistory of aurochs – the animals that were the focus of some of the most iconic early human art – by analysing 38 genomes harvested from bones dating across 50 millennia and stretching from Siberia to Britain.  The aurochs roamed in Europe, Asia and Africa for hundreds of thousands of years. Adorned as paintings on many a cave wall, their domestication to create cattle gave us a harnessed source of muscle, meat and milk. Such was the influence of this domestication that today their descendants make up a third of the world’s mammalian biomass.

thought for the day: What if the domestication of aphids by ants ended in extinction of an ant species many times, due to ants eating way too much sugar, and it's just chance that a relative few lucky ant species had the right metabolism to flourish on the high-sugar diet resulting from aphid domestication?

(Presumably applies to domestication of other sap-feeders that have high sugar output.)

A brief history of what's been learned about the domestication of the housecat during the past 20 years.

' “Recent data indicate a significant overlap in the appearance of house mice (Mus musculus) and cats in Late Neolithic Eastern Europe, and suggest that the house mouse was an important factor for the dispersal of cats within Europe.” '
