Clive D.L. Wynne
BEHAVIORAL SCIENTIST

From the first fires on the edges of ancient camps to modern homes and city streets, dogs have been our steadfast companions. In The Story of Dogs, pioneering canine behavioral psychologist Clive Wynne embarks on a journey through time―spanning genetics, archaeology, and the humanities―to explore the history of dogs as they accompanied humans through every major chapter in our shared past. Wynne braids groundbreaking science with captivating historical anecdotes and tales from his own travels and research, taking readers from Ancient Egypt to the Roman Empire, across the Americas, and into the modern world. Showing how dogs adapted alongside us, reflected our values, fears, and ambitions, and became inextricably woven into our history, The Story of Dogs masterfully paints a vivid, compelling portrait of the enduring bond between humans and our dogs.
