Humans have a closer and longer history with ancestral and domestic dogs than any other animal species. Ironically, the closest living relative of dogs (wolves) remain one of the world�s most persecuted species � an issue that rages today throughout the United States, including Colorado. This class centers on the biology of domestication, evolution of behavior, canid paleontology and genetics, wolf conservation, and the evolutionary, social, and cultural significance of wolves and dogs to humans. Formerly offered as a special topics course. Recommended prerequisite: ANTH 2010 or EBIO 1030 or EBIO 1210 or EBIO 1220 or EBIO 2040 or ENVS 2000. Same as ENVS 5135.
