RTBS 01 06: “The Fox and the Hound: Co-Evolving with our Furry Friends” Remains to be Seen

- Natural Sciences
In this episode, we sniff into the strange territory of domestication and co-evolution with our special guest Anne Burrows, Professor of Anatomy at Duquesne University and a member of the research team making big news this summer for their work on the evolution of facial expression in domestic dogs. How does a muscle in a dog’s forehead tug on human heartstrings? What happens when Russian researchers breed wild foxes to tolerate and even love their human keepers? We take a summer walk with our furry friends, with side journeys into the rat, parasitic disease, sugar-free gummi bears, and fecal transplants.
