Along the way, he reflects on field archaeology, the challenges of living with permanent neuropathy after Guillain-Barré syndrome, the history of Yellowstone, wolf conservation, and why observing wild wolves offers a unique window into understanding the dogs that have shared our lives for thousands of years. Whether you're interested in archaeology, wildlife, human evolution, or America's national parks, this episode is a behind-the-scenes look at two worlds that are more connected than they might seem.","meta_description":"In this solo episode, David shares stories from two unforgettable weeks in Wyoming—from excavating an ancient Bison antiquus at the Willow Springs archaeo…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2422,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ethnocynology-with-david-ian-howe-7030895/episodes/fieldwork-and-wolf-spotting-in-yellowstone-ep-41/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ethnocynology-with-david-ian-howe-7030895/fieldwork-and-wolf-spotting-in-yellowstone-ep-41.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
