How dogs quickly evolved a unique facial muscle to better manipulate humans


An extraordinary new study, examining the anatomical differences between dogs and wolves, has revealed our canine companions recently evolved a very small facial muscle allowing them to raise their inner eyebrow. This tiny muscle was not found in wolves, suggesting dogs rapidly evolved this extra tissue to better communicate with humans.

The new research followed on from earlier study into the ways dogs facilitate eye contact with humans. Prior work has revealed humans favor dogs that perform certain facial movements, particularly an inner eyebrow raise (dubbed AU101 by researchers).

"This movement makes a dogs' eyes appear larger, giving them a childlike appearance," explains Bridget Waller, co-author on the new research. "It could also mimic the facial movement humans make when they're sad."

My new friend. Only time she's been still enough to get a picture. At least she is home now, the real fun can now begin!

I wish I could say she's as good as gold, but I'd be lying. We're still sussing each other out, but one thing we know is that the older dog is scared of her so we have to keep them apart. She is a lovely little thing though (when she's asleep)
