Abstract
⺠We re-analyze 48 K SNP data to test the eastern wolf (C. lycaon) hypothesis. ⺠We use a holistic approach to understand Canis evolution in North America. ⺠We conclude that the C. lycaon hypothesis cannot be rejected by the data. ⺠Wolves from Algonquin Provincial Park represent a North American evolved wolf.⺠Biased assumptions and narrow scientific perspective hinder conservation efforts.
