Scientists who study the
co-evolution of humans and dogs have found that humans would not have survived
as a species without canines. No other species on earth have co-evolved to the
same extent. Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins will present a 90-minute program on the
science behind our relationship with dogs, what was revealed about dogs when
their genome was mapped, how dog breeds emerged, and how we can use the newest
scientific findings to better communicate with them. Ms. Bishop-Jenkins is an international
certified master groomer and the owner of Love Fur Dogs in Glencoe. She is a
retired high school and college teacher with a long side-career of showing and
breeding dogs.
