Dogs and Humans

An interesting study marks the evolution of dogs and humans in tandem and has found surprising similarities in our genome . . . both species seem to evolve in tandem. Studies trace the genomes for thousands of years and have discovered that human and dogs have tracked similar changes in neurotransmitters, cholesterol and cancer genomes. All this affects diet, personality and interaction.
