1. You forgot Art.

And I don't think we can take credit for dogs.

[MrScorpio]

2. Without us, they'd still be wolves

Hell, why not?

[laconicsax]

10. It's possible they domesticated themselves.

11. Ah, the wolves chose us and evolved into dogs...

Yeah, I can dig that.

[jobycom]

15. They were trying to get closer for the fresh meat, but when they became dogs

they suddenly realized they were too nice to eat us. Evolutionary strategic blunder.

3. "Art" is ruled out. Static.Limited.Bound. n/t

[Arugula Latte]

4. And for the kitties, "getting humans to act as staff" is their great accomplishment.

More than happy to serve my feline overlords! :patriot:

[undeterred]

5. Wrong order.

[mopinko]

6. different order for different folks, i guess.

i think it goes the other way round also, but content to say ymmv.

[Orrex]

7. I can't believe that oral sex isn't on the list

Sure, certain other primates do it too, but in my human-o-centric elitism I'm somehow not remotely attracted to even the cutest bonobo.

8. O.K., before departing, I will say/declaim/exclaim: BWAH-ha-HAH!1 n/t

[dimbear]

9. Birds have been around a lot longer than we have.

Pretty sure they came up with music. OTOH, humans certainly invented barbecue.

[petronius]

12. Scratch music, add beer. Replace "dogs" with anything that's not a dog.

Now you've got a list!

[Angleae]

13. Sorry, chocolate didn't make itself.

[Orsino]

14. And we plagiarized heavily on the dogs. n/t
