...added. Wobber became interested in what factor was responsible for differences in each species’ cognitive ability and why some species are better at reading human signals, Wrangham said. Wobber wanted to know if this was the result of domestication. Wobber, who conducted thesis research at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, examined various dog breeds. Among these was the New Guinea Singing Dog, a breed that had limited human contact but was domesticated very early, Wrangham said. Wobber found that dogs’ understanding of human signals has evolved over time through domestication. Wobber...
...Harvard wrestling team, led by junior tri-captains Bode Ogunwole and Max Meltzer and classmate Robbie Preston, finished third in the Ivy League this season behind Cornell and Penn. The Crimson’s starting lineup posted outstanding individual numbers, with Ogunwole leading the way by finishing 32-8, placing first in the heavyweight class in the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) Championships and sixth in the NCAAs.
