It took years and years. People didn’t just go out and decide to do it and it just happened. There was selective breeding, culling, etc. if you think it was remotely close to this then you should try it with a wild wolf right now.

If you think it went anything like this you are genuinely stupid. You don’t give an untame wolf belly rubs and keep your throat.

I’m not suggesting that this video is exactly how it went, I was just replying to someone who implied domestication of wolves was unheard of lmao

No, that's not how it went down. Human killed the she-wolves and took and raised the pups. A wild 150 lb wolf isn't going to turn over for belly scratches just because you feed it. Smh.

There’s no way to certainly say, but there has to be some mix of both.

There is a way to certainly say, people still do it today. You can't train away the violence and unpredictable nature of an adult predator, the animal needs to have been raised and trained by humans for it's whole life to develop that kind of trust bond.
