We then tried to find evidence for the domestication syndrome in other species and struck out again. In dogs, cats, pigs, goats, rats and mice, we found almost no published data (definition of “data”? ANY kind of numbers). What we did find was rarely definitive.pic.twitter.com/2monJWDmOe

Our conclusion? The domestication syndrome might exist. We don’t know. The data just isn’t there. Lots more research is needed.

But maybe, instead, we should focus on how each species is adapting, in its own unique way, to live near, and even with, humans. We have an outsized impact on this planet. A small number of species are totally comfortable with that. Countless others are struggling to adapt.
