evolution of wolves into dogs.



I am not a troll. My question arises from ignorance and confusion. I was
reading about a theory of how wolves evolved into dogs. It involved
thyroxine, the hormone secreted by the thyroid gland.

My confusion is this: Is the domestication of the wolf evolution at all? In
my ignorance , it all seems so simple. Some wolves were amenable to
domestication, and we domesticated them. Other wolves we not amenable to
domestication, and we didn't domesticate them.
