In this episode of Ethnocynology with David and Howe, David sits down with good friend Jonny Devaney! Jonny recently got back from an extended trip to Italy with his family, where he went to Pompeii, Naples, Venice, Rome, and got to see a mass run by the new Pope Leo.

They first start by catching up with each other and then quickly get into the trip.

Jonny spent the most time in Rome and Naples, but also got to see lots of Venice and was given a personal tour of Pompeii by an archaeologist.

David and Jonny then start talking about their experiences in Rome, the Vatican, the tourist stuff, and of course dogs.

Jonny is currently obsessed with Cane Corso’s and they spend a good deal of time talking about that.

In this episode, David answers questions he received from a Q&A on Instagram. While some are archaeological, most are on dogs. The questions range from dogs in the Americas, to dog burials in Europe, why are some wolves black? Why are there so many arrowheads in Wyoming? And were dogs really eaten?

David answers these questions, and does his usual rant and tirades in between questions about current anthropology, the Colombian exchange, and people that annoy him on Instagram.

In this episode, David finally discusses the 2018 film “Alpha.” Alpha is a movie that takes place 20,000 years ago in France, in which a boy is separated from his hunting party, and has to survive on his own to get home. That is until he meets a wolf, and the two of them then have to survive together to make it home. It is a story of survival, but also the first domestic dog.

David reviews the movie scene by scene and adds anthropological context and discusses the accuracies and inaccuracies using examples from real archeology.

In this episode, David reads some selected short stories and posts from his Instagram that helped build his account.  If you've been following him for a while, you'll recognize some of these posts, and more importantly you'll recognize the illustrations done by Ettore Mazza.

Many of these posts have to do with dogs, wolves, and anthropology but the final one has to do with tattoos and the Lord of the Rings.

David stresses that these posts were originally a lot longer pieces of work, but had to be cut down to only 2,200 characters to fit within the limits of Instagram's rules. But that also helped make him a better writer than reader.

In a sense, these are the posts that originally went viral when he was just starting Instagram,  and serve as the foundation for how David communicates science in an artistic yet educational way.

In this episode, David talks about the recent news about the direwolves that were “brought back from extinction.” However, as he explains, no direwolves were brought back from extinction, and it seems the company is intentionally lying to the public for one reason or the other. David talks biology, speciation taxonomy, and why it seems the public is being duped.

David then discusses the Bellemeade Mansion and the Hermitage in Nashville, and how these powerful Southern families partook in the war.

As laid out in Episode 4, David will be doing deep dives into movies, TV shows, and books that have to do with anthropology and dogs in the apocalypse. In this episode, David does a deep dive on a film called “Children of Men” directed by Alfonso Cuarón.

Children of Men explores a near-future where men and women have become infertile, and no one is able to reproduce. In this story, dogs play a role in substituting for children, which is uniquely explored in the film through its cinematography.

Some of the things David discusses are the plot Summary, key themes, the role of dogs as surrogates for children, and Cuaron’s cinematic techniques and world-building,
