Ethnocynology: Dogs, humans, and our shared cultural history.

Ethnocynology is the study of dogs and their place in both past and present human societies. It is a sub-discipline of anthropology and encompasses theories of dog domestication, the role of dogs in various cultures and times, and the biological adaptions which have evolved throughout our shared history.

Today on The Milk of Audhumla I welcome David Ian Howe. David is a professional archaeologist and educator who has worked on excavations in Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Wyoming. In 2016 and 2017, he participated in the LaPrele Clovis Mammoth kill site excavation- a National Geographic funded project in Wyoming. He received his MA in archaeology from the University of Wyoming and his undergraduate degree in anthropology from the University of Tennessee. He is the producer and host of the popular YouTube channel Howe and Why, co-host of the Life in Ruins podcast, and publishes on Instagram as Ethnocynology. He has produced a TedEd video named “A Brief History of Dogs”, consulted on the PBS Eons video “How Dogs (eventually) Became our Best Friends”, and was recently a panelist for a roundtable discussion on the role of social media in archaeological education presented by the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology at the University of Michigan.
