Here’s a clip from PBS’s Nova on dogs and humans. There’s a particularly fascinating part at about 4:40 about how our faces are divided and the right side shows our truer emotional state. We are programmed to scan the right side of the face to get a read on another person’s state of mind – and so are dogs. They don’t do that with other dogs, just humans. There’s other good stuff about how we co-evolved. Dog’s barks, for example, might have evolved to communicate with humans, not each other.
