Are dogs even more like us than chimpanzees?
Recent multiple studies have found that dogs have the same three primary types of social behavior that chimpanzees do:
1) Sociality - they organize into groups where members are loyal to each other.
2) Synchronization - they follow shared social rules that strengthen group unity.
3) Constructive activity - they cooperate to achieve goals within the group
Cooperation, attachment to people, understanding verbal and non-verbal communications, and being able to imitate are just a few of the social behaviors people and dogs share. It's thought that these similarities are a result of dogs and humans adapting to the same living conditions over the years as dogs were domesticated by humans, and now serve as a model for understanding human social behavior.
