I saw this article on Dr Eades sight and thought, good question. Never thought of it, but makes since in a way. We're the only animals that have pets.

Wait, someone is just now deciding to write a paper over this? I would have thought more people would have read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and thought of the connection many years ago.

I think we probably were human before making animals pets. I think that it might be the other way - we made wild animals pets.
