The domestication of wolves into dogs just so happens to coincide with the decrease in size of the region of the brain associated with scent. Arguement being, wolves were so much better at hunting by scent, that the human (or proto-human if you prefer) hunters no longer needed the skill, so it wasn't selected for afterward.
