To solve this mystery, scientists measured the skulls of 55 wolves and 159 dogs of different breeds in an attempt to calculate the relative brain sizes of wolves and dogs. The results showed that the average brain volume of dogs is about 99.7 cubic centimeters, while the average brain volume of wolves is 131 cubic centimeters.

In other words, the brain of a wolf is more than 30% larger than that of a dog.

In addition, scientists also found that the closer the relationship between dogs and wolves, the smaller the brain capacity. (Husky: Are you clicking on me?)

Does this mean that wolves are much smarter than dogs? Could it be that the rumor that wolves are ten times smarter than dogs is actually true? </p><p>There are also scientists who hold different opinions on this. </p><p>Many scientists believe that we generally measure the cognitive level of animals through a series of skills they possess. These skills are generally divided into two categories: social cognition and non-social cognition. </p><p>Social cognition refers to the skills of individual animals to get along with other animals; non-social cognition refers to the skills of animals to process and manipulate the surrounding environment. </p><p>Experiments show that wolves and dogs have different cognitive skills because of their different lifestyles. </p><p>Because dogs have lived with humans for a long time, they are better at understanding human actions and instructions.

In a 2021 study, researchers placed two cups upside down on a table, with food hidden under one. They then asked 44 puppies and 28 wolf pups to try to find food using cues such as pointing or staring. </p><p>Puppies were twice as likely to successfully find food as their cousins. Researchers believe dogs are naturally better at understanding the intentions behind people's gestures. </p><p>However, in another study in 2017, researchers shook a cup containing food to dogs and wolves and showed them the food in the cup, ensuring that both dogs and wolves used it. Food identified the cup. When the researchers shook another empty cup again, the dogs still moved forward to try to get the food, while the wolves tended to remain unmoved. This suggests that wolves are inherently better at understanding cause and effect than dogs. </p><p>After numerous tests, researchers have found that wolves living in the wild are better at cooperating with each other because they have to forage on their own. Dogs that have been kept in captivity for a long time are usually better at performing tasks with humans. </p><p>So, it is unscientific to simply say that wolves are smarter than dogs or that dogs are smarter than wolves. They simply become more adapted to their living environment during the process of evolution. </p>
