STEM Saturday Post Promotion #6: The lines of descent from ancient wolves to modern dogs

Welcome to STEM Saturday number 6 on the Steem blockchain. In celebration of the occasion, I have once again promoted a Popular STEM post to the top of the /promoted list.

This marks the sixth consecutive Saturday that our community has held the top of the /promoted page.

The Post

This week's promoted post is Dogs may descend from two different populations of wolves from @sarahjay1.

As with prior weeks, the post was passed through three separate online plagiarism checks before promotion.

Here is the post at the top of /promoted:

Promotion Cost

In order to promote the post, I burned 1 SBD (equivalent of about 4.67 STEEM) by sending it to @null with the memo field set to: @sarahjay1/the-origin-of-dogs-linked-to-two-different-populations-of-wolves

About STEM Saturday

If members would like to have your own STEM content considered for future promotions, please come join us and start contributing. I don't know how long I'll be continuing the tradition, but while I do, here are the minimum requirements for consideration (subject to change without notice ;-).

1. Original, plagiarism-free content
2. Minimum word count: currently 300 words, but this may be adjusted.
3. The content must not be cross-posted on other web sites or blockchains. Correct use of the #steemexclusive tag is encouraged.
4. English language. (sorry, it's the only one I know)

All community members are invited to create original and exclusive content that can be considered for future promotions.

Lastly, before STEM Saturday was caturday, so here is an obligatory cat picture from IlonaBurschl at pixabay.
