And he is us -- Here we come, ready or not -- Time is of the essence -- Who wins in an invasion? -- How do you know that? -- What's for dinner? -- What does an invasion look like? -- Going, going, gone -- Guess who else is coming for dinner? -- Bearing up under competition pressure -- The Jagger principle -- Dogged -- Why dogs? -- When is a wolf not a wolf? -- What happened and why.

Humans domesticated dogs soon after Neanderthals began to disappear. This alliance between two predator species, Pat Shipman hypothesizes, made possible unprecedented success in hunting large Ice Age mammals--a distinct and ultimately decisive advantage for human invaders at a time when climate change made both humans and Neanderthals vulnerable.
