    Domesticated dogs and pottery appear to have both originated in East Asia. suspect dogs served as an alarm system for village-size territories and thereby allowed secure long-term food storage, thus the later invention of pottery. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4816135/pdf/cr2015147a.pdf …http://science.sciencemag.org/content/336/6089/1696 …

        The spread of pottery parallels the spread of vermin rodents. Early pottery was likely a response to rats or mice gnawing through baskets to get at the food stored in early villages. http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/12/26/096800 … http://biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2016/12/26/096800.full.pdf … http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/03/when-did-humans-settle-down-house-mouse-may-have-answer …https://www.palmstrading.com/native-american-pottery/native-seed-pots/ …

        Dogs have been popular for food in East Asia for a long time, perhaps they were farmed?. Also isn't east Asia inherently warmer than regions inhabited by wolves?

        Increase security before increasing storage capacity. I can imagine a few modern parallels.

        Dogs were a trusted third party...until they ate the food.

        Sometimes there is no single point of origin. Much like Koala fingerprints, the toss of a million sided coin can land the same way in different places at the same time.

        I’m guessing service dogs originated there as well to keep camel riders feeling “secure” along the Silk Road? 🤔
