It is probably no accident that the relationship between dogs and their owners mirrors the attachment relationship between parents and their children, behaviorally and physiologically.

Tools are very important aspect in human life, and this played a huge role in the development of humans to the extent that we see today. As humans deviated from being food collectors, from being eaters of wild berries and fruits, to eating flesh, the necessity of tools developed. Why did it happen?
