He's talking about a recent study (in _Science_) comparing the ability of domestic dogs, wolves, and chimps to interpret a human's signals -pointing, gaze, etc.-- about the location of food. Dogs were better than wolves and chimps. Even dog puppies were better than chimps or wolves. Not bad for a dozen Kyears of selection.
