We take a look at one of our most humble companions in civilization, the house mouse. Michelle Niedermeier of the Penn State Cooperative Extension’s Integrated Pest Management program joins Billy as we talk about research into how mouse genetics can help us learn about human history . We spend some time with John James Audubon’s fabulous mouse chapter from the Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America (v. 2, p. 277). Just for kicks, we’ve included a reading from the last episode in which we discussed mice: Lawrence Crawford helps us wax poetic about mice (in Scots, so read along and click on the unfamiliar words) with the immortal Robert Burns.
