"Humans' best friend" coloring book page (Patreon)

This month's coloring book image comes from our lesson, A brief history of dogs by educator David Ian Howe with animation by Cabong Studios. Since their emergence over 200,000 years ago, modern humans have established communities all over the planet. But they didn’t do it alone. Whatever corner of the globe you find humans in today, you’re likely to find another species as well: dogs. So how did one of our oldest rivals, the wolf, evolve into man’s best friend? David Ian Howe traces the history of humanity’s first domesticated animal.
