Program Description

Event Details

There is a synergy in the cultural evolution of humans, wolves, and then to the descendants of wolves, dogs. We humans became best friends with wolves and later became their enemies, and then became best friends with dogs. In this lecture we will explore these curious relationships. As lines of evidence, we will use paleontology, archaeology, folklore, and genetics to understand how these relationships evolved over time
