I think that’s pretty well accepted as part of the story though, humans who adopted dogs hunted better and reproduced more.
You’ll probably be harder pressed to nail down the specifics though.
In my head it goes something like this.
"What the hell is going on with Zog and UUka? They've got a goddamn wolf living in their cave!! It's unnatural!"
Easily as likely, if not more so, to be cultural in origin than genetic (unless you go back far enough to language genetics).
