ReviewsThis book ... is a clear and succinct appraisal of historical evidence for the origins of canine variation, and as such it will be a useful and interesting read for dog enthusiast generally.', I enjoyed reading this book and I am convinced that many people interested in the human past and in the biology of domestic animals will share my view.', there is always room for well-written books with new angles...
