Abstract:
This
Thesis
draws
a
parallel
between
the
lives
of
humans
and
dogs.
Humans
are
conditioned
to
behave
and
act
certain
ways
just
as
dogs
are
conditioned
to
behave
and
perform
certain
acts.
Humans
have
been
conditioned
to
rely
on
technology,
while
dogs
have
been
conditioned
to
rely
on
humans.
However,
hunter-‐gatherer
groups
such
as
the
Hadza
do
not
rely
on
technology
and
are
conditioned
merely
to
survive.
The
Hadza
have
not
significantly
changed
their
ways
for
thousands
of
years
and
more
closely
relate
to
the
wolf,
not
in
the
sense
that
they
are
hostile
or
vicious.
This
thesis
also
compares
the
way
most
humans
live
today,
and
the
way
the
Hadza
live.
Dogs
are
the
chosen
vehicle
for
this
comparison
because
of
the
relationship
between
humans
and
dogs.
