  早期嘅人類社會有養狼。嗰陣時啲人選擇性咁淨係將啲野性冇咁犀利嘅狼攞去配種，一代一代咁令到佢哋養嗰啲狼嘅性格同特徵變得愈嚟愈温順－形成咗狗呢種新動物。呢個就係生物學上「馴養」嘅一個例子。

  Early human society kept wolves as pets. People at that time selectively bred wolves that were less ferocious, and, over successive generations, caused the wolves they kept to become more and more tamed - resulting in a new animal, dogs. This is an example of biological domestication.
