Dr Jeffrey Schoenebeck - Doggedly Dependent: A Canine Story of Human Intervention and Form

No other terrestrial species of animal is as diverse in its morphology as man's best friend, the dog. Today more than four hundred breeds of dogs are recognized worldwide. Why and how did dogs evolve so rapidly and broadly? Dr Schoenebeck discusses the scientific advances that occurred in the last decade that have enabled researchers to begin unravelling the mysteries of canine diversity. http://www.ed.ac.uk/news/events/medical-detectives/2014/schoenebeck Recorded 25 September 2014 at the University of Edinburgh's Anatomy Lecture Theatre.
