DOGS & HUMANS with David Ian Howe

Ancient dogs! Domestic wolves! Anthropology! Archaeology! It’s all Ethnocynology: when and why humans and dogs became BFFs. The wonderful and iconic David Ian Howe is an educator and professional archaeologist whose focus is canines and people. So let’s curl up and be cute – like dogs – as we listen about breed histories, how wolves tamed themselves, why our relationships with canines make us what we are, talking dogs, if it’s fair to ask your dog to love you back, and why your dog is trying to make fetch happen.  Visit David’s website and check out his podcasts, The David Ian Howe Show & Ethnocynology with David Ian Howe Follow David on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Patreon & Bluesky A donation went to the Native American Humane Society Full-length (*not* G-rated) Ethnocynology episode + tons of science links More kid-friendly Smologies episodes!
