I think the most important truth about dog evolution is that we still don't know how it happened.  Dawkins only discusses one of many plausible theories that have been put forward (see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_the_domestic_dog" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_the_domestic_dog</a>).<p>We still live in a mysterious world, with lots of unanswered questions and plenty of avenues of exploration open to anyone curious enough to pursue them!
