Life on this planet from earliest days and now
The piece surveys life from the dawn of Earth. It cites Peking man as an ancient human relic, notes cannibalistic acts linked to early humans, and then shifts to domesticated dogs and their bond with humans. It contrasts dog loyalty with wolves, recounting wolf depredations in Europe and a dramatic patrol kill in Poland.
