Instruction
This article is only half as long as it appears (it's written in english and french). Although the context is on animal welfare issues, please focus on the genetic defects in dogs that have been created from inbreeding pure lines and breeds.
Readings will be articles or book chapters on certain aspects of evolutionary biology. In this folder I will post up to eight readings, and for five of those you will need to write "synopses" of those articles. Links to the synopsis "assignment" will appear after each posted article. The synopses should be well-written, substantive summaries (ca. 1 page typed, single spaced, which is ca. 500 words). Each synopsis must primarily include a summary of the article, plus at least several sentences of your own perspective (eg., something new you learned, or how the article changed your view of biology). Synopses will be submitted via "Safe Assign", so you must make sure the writing is your own (no plagiarizing or copy/pasting).
