Humans` ability to read dog facial expressions is learned, not innate
(PHYSorg.com Biology)
 


In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, a team of researchers from Germany and the United Kingdom assessed how experience with dogs affects humans` ability to recognize dog emotions. Participants who grew up in a cultural context with a dog-friendly attitude were more proficient at recognizing dog emotions. This suggests that the ability to recognize dogs` expressions is learned through age and experience and is not an evolutionary adaptation.
