You might think that the ability to recognize voices is the result of human interaction with a dog. However, a new study casts doubt on this fact.
Dogs are descended from wolves, which are also able to distinguish different voices of people. Despite the fact that these animals do not follow the established rules as well and control impulses worse.
Studies have shown that wolves showed no interest in unfamiliar voices and reacted vividly to the voices of people they knew. The animals stood up, raised their heads and pricked up their ears. That is, they did everything that domestic dogs do when they hear their owners.
In addition, cats and gorillas are capable of distinguishing voices. However, most likely, this is not due to long-term communication between humans and animals.
