Abstract
La motivación social hacia los humanos juega un papel central en el proceso de domesticación. La hipótesis de la autodomesticación humana establece una correspondencia entre la evolución humana y la domesticación al proponer que los humanos, al igual que las especies domésticas, experimentaron una selección a favor de la prosocialidad (entendida como interacciones sociales positivas) y contra la agresividad, que condujo a la aparición de rasgos correlacionados a nivel anatómico, fisiológico, conductual y cognitivo (i.e., el síndrome de domesticación; SD) (Hare, 2017). De manera similar a los humanos, se ha afirmado que los perros poseen una motivación social hipertrofiada (vonHoldt et al., 2017). Habiendo compartido un nicho con los humanos durante un período prolongado de tiempo, los perros podrían haber experimentado una convergencia evolutiva con los humanos (Ádám Miklósi et al., 2007)...
Human-directed social motivation plays a central role in the domestication process. The human self-domestication hypothesis establishes a correspondence between human evolution and domestication by proposing that humans, like domestic species, experienced a selection for prosociality (understood as positive social interactions) and against aggression, that led to the emergence of correlated traits at the anatomical, physiological, behavioural and cognitive level (i.e., the domestication syndrome; DS) (Hare, 2017). Similarly to humans, dogs have been claimed to possess an hypertrophied social motivation (vonHoldt et al., 2017). Having shared a niche with humans for an extended period of time, dogs might have experienced evolutionary convergence with humans (Ádám Miklósi et al., 2007)...
