Lecture On Dingos And Domestication

[Are You Serious Jo]

My friend is giving an e-lecture on the history of dingos and humans. I know a lot of people here are interested in dingos so thought I'd give the link for those who haven't heard about it.

+1! I was very interested in the 2 papers he put out in 2010 about dingo performance on locating things (plus the footage of one moving a table to get food! )

Yeah, Stirling was a remarkable boy :D I was going to expand our dog work to look at object permanence in dingos in my old group but ended up giving it over to Brad for his PhD. He is a great advocate for dingo conservation

Absolutely - when I get asked "why should we save dingoes?" among other points I cite his papers and point out there's so much we can learn from them!

[noisymina]

Awesome higher level thinking!

That is problem solving, not just "instinct".

[Are You Serious Jo]

Then his work here is almost done :laugh: But he really is a great guy and awesome scientist so I'd love for more people to learn about his work and how amazing dingos are. He just got a new grant for next year so keep an eye out for some more dingo behaviour work.

I want a "Like" button for that comment!

I saw he got that grant - is awesome!
