Dr. Sharon Wever presents on how 3D scans of the front arm bones of modern and fossil canids (dogs and their ancestors) can tell us about their behavior. This research not only challenges conventional perspectives of what makes a canid a canid, but also sheds light on the adaptive strategies that shaped their ecological niches.
