  | | AUGUST 7, 2016 |  | | Cause and effect | Humans are curious and intellectual, so for as long as we've been thinking and using language, we have always tried to figure out why things happen — why is the sky blue? Why does the sun rise? Where do mountains come from?
This curiosity is the basis of science, where the goal is to look at some event or phenomenon — the "effect" — and figure out why it happened — the "cause." Scientists keep eliminating possible causes that are wrong until they find the one that's right. For example, people once believed that disease was caused by foul-smelling air, but that wasn't the real cause. Eventually, they discovered that it was germs in the air that spread disease.
Humans are great at narrowing down a range of possible causes to the most likely one. Dogs? Not so much. To a dog, if something seems to cause an effect once, they accept that theory completely... |  | | | | © Copyright 2016 Cesar's Way, Inc. All rights reserved.  | |
