Saw it on national geographic so you know it's true!!!
Ok, it was about dogs in utero (mostly about dog and wolf development in the womb but also had some other tidbits thrown in) and how basically every one of the thousands of dog breeds on earth all stem from wild wolves of which there are also several types of breeds. Anyway, it said dogs came from the most submissive of wolves, and that if a dog is thrown into a wolf pack it will automatically become the most submissive, even if it is 1 wolf to more than one dog. Wolves have bigger brains in order to manage pack dynamics with hunting and meal rationing, as well as fully mature into adults. Scientists believe that dogs only mature so far and then they remain in a puppy like state for the rest of their lives, which makes them playful and affectionate, behaviors that only the most submissive wolves display, which are usually young to adolescent wolf cubs. **Did you know that if an expectant wolf mother is under too much stress her body will absorb one or more of the pups she carries so the surviving ones will have a better chance? This is quite common, and in desperate times she might absorb all her cubs... Also it is common for all canines to be able to conceive pups by different sires within the span of a week. This happened to my dachshund. She had 2 pups by a miniature pincsher and 1 pup by a yorkie, that one was the first conceived and was too large when he was birthed, and his eyes were popped out of his head and his tongue was lolled out due to the pressure on his body when he was birthed... Almost killed Ginger too... it was so sad**
ANYWAY! So, what does this mean regarding our boys Koga, Ginta, Hakkaku, InuYasha and Sesshomaru? In our fuedal fairy tale, Sesshomaru is obviously of full inu descent but is the most powerful yokai possibly in the sengoku period according to Takahashi's universe, but in reality, it may very well be Koga, as he would be smarter and more mature.... If it were reality Koga would have ditched Kagome as soon as Ayame came into smelling distance because a female wolf only seeks a male when she's in heat, and an alpha cannot turn that down. And InuYasha only being a half dog would still be submissive to Sesshomaru, but all those times Koga showed up previously he would have had to let him take Kagome, as he would have been EXTREMELY submissive in the presence of a wolf.
But, thank goodness its ALL make believe, and Sesshomaru is still the most beautiful and powerful badass Nippon has ever seen and Koga knows his place in that royal hierarchy.
