− | 69:7.4 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog dog] was the first [[animal]] to be [[domesticated]], and the [[difficult]] [[experience]] of taming it began when a certain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog dog], after following a [[hunter]] around all day, actually went [[home]] with him. For ages dogs were used for [[food]], [[hunting]], [[transportation]], and companionship. At first dogs only howled, but later on they learned to bark. The dog's keen [[Senses|sense]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Smell.2C_Taste.2C_and_Touch smell] led to the notion it could see [[spirits]], and thus arose the dog-[[fetish]] [[cults]]. The employment of watchdogs made it first possible for the whole [[clan]] to [[sleep]] at [[night]]. It then became the [[custom]] to employ watchdogs to [[protect]] the [[home]] against [[spirits]] as well as [[material]] enemies. When the dog barked, man or beast approached, but when the dog howled, spirits were near. Even now many still [[believe]] that a dog's howling at [[night]] betokens [[death]]. | + | 69:7.4 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog dog] was the first [[animal]] to be [[domesticated]], and the [[difficult]] [[experience]] of taming it began when a certain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog dog], after following a [[hunter]] around all day, actually went [[home]] with him.

| 69:7.5 When man was a [[hunter]], he was fairly kind to [[woman]], but after the [[domestication]] of [[animals]], coupled with the [[Caligastia]] [[confusion]], many [[tribes]] shamefully treated their [[women]]. They treated them altogether too much as they treated their [[animals]]. Man's brutal treatment of [[woman]] [[constitutes]] one of the [[darkest]] chapters of [[human]] [[history]]. | | 69:7.5 When man was a [[hunter]], he was fairly kind to [[woman]], but after the [[domestication]] of [[animals]], coupled with the [[Caligastia]] [[confusion]], many [[tribes]] shamefully treated their [[women]].
