Whether they are stealing scenes on the silver screen or reppin' the 99% in Denver, CO, everyone can agree that dogs occupy a special place in the hearts and minds of humans the world over. But how much do we actually know about our four-legged friends? Dog expert Mark Derr, author of How the Dog Became the Dog (available now) has made a career out of exploring the dog/human relationship, debunking myths through scientific research and canine journalism. In recent essays and interviews with The Wall Street Journal, Salon, and NPR, Derr sheds light on the evolutionary history of man's best friend.
In the WSJ, Derr brings a fresh perspective to an ancient artifact: 26,000 year old paw prints left behind in the Chauvet Cave of southern France. "Attributing that paw print to a dog or even to a socialized wolf has been controversial since it was first proposed a decade ago. It would push back by some 12,000 years the oldest dog on record. More than that: Along with a cascade of other new scientific findings, it could totally rewrite the story of man and dog and what they mean to each other." Below, Derr discusses the latest scientific findings that challenge the consensus model of dog domestication with WSJ's Christina Tsuei.

This morning as I watched GMA I was reminded of time spent with my parents playing baseball, shooting hoops, throwing a football. Oh none of us were very good but what fun we had together. I worry that too many children and parents in this hectic world are relying on television and video games for entertainment and down time. Michelle Obama sets a wonderful example for all of us. http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=8888172 What can you and your family do together that will exercise your bodies, fill your lungs with fresh air, and bring a smile to your faces? Wii is not the only way. I would love to hear your comments on this issue. Shari ;o)

Love this! And so true. My husband and I always joke that when kids come to our house to play they hate it - we make them go outside and play and get fresh air instead of playing Wii or watching TV...
