It's actually a pretty interesting theory and implies that evolution in fact CAN happen at a very rapid rate, something that hasn't been thought to be true in the past.

i was actually wondering about this. i think it's fair to say that dogs are in general, bottom feeders throughout their evolutionary history. they will eat wtf-ever they come across. some of the things my guy has eaten- eeesh. hell, they can eat rotten eggs.
