Abstract

Confortablement assis sur votre canapé, vous regardez votre chien dormant paisiblement auprès de vous. Est-il en train de rêver de son dernier bol de croquettes ? Ou s’imagine-t-il peut-être la grande saga odysséenne de ses ancêtres, parcourant en meute les vastes steppes du dernier « Âge de Glace » à la poursuite des rennes qui constitueraient leur prochain repas ?

[Comfortably seated on your couch, you watch your dog sleeping peacefully next to you. Is he dreaming of his last bowl of kibble? Or can he perhaps imagine the great Odyssean saga of his ancestors, roaming in packs the vast steppes of the last "Ice Age" in pursuit of the reindeer that would be their next meal?]
