Where would I find information on the evolutionary development of canines?

I am doing a paper for my college Bio II class and I am running dry on information.. any help is greatly appreciated!! I need information like what made dogs turn into different breeds, what may have been the initial breed, etc.Where would I find information on the evolutionary development of canines?Here's an entrance into the literature. Go to your science library, find these sources, check out their cited references, and use a citations index to find more:

Yipes and you are in college?

On the first page of same,are only 2 uncited listings wiki which we wrote, and amazon.com with a list of books .Where would I find information on the evolutionary development of canines?Then your best place is a university library. Check out the biological abstracts--ask the librarian to help you look in them if you don't know how. Try talking to someone in the dental school--a professor or even a student. I'm sure someone could point you to a good reference, perhaps a review article.



Talk to a paleontologist in the geology department. Talk to your biology department counselor.
