"In the mode of (nucleic)
acidic millenialism, I tell a tale of molecular differences,
but one less rooted in Mitochondrial Eve in a
neocolonial Out of Africa and more rooted in those
first mitochondrial canine bitches who got in the way
of man making himself yet again in the Greatest Story
Ever Told. Instead, those bitches insisted on the
history of companion species, a very mundane and
ongoing sort of tale, one full of misunderstandings,
achievements, crimes, and renewable hopes. Mine is a
story told by a student of the sciences and a feminist
of a certain generation who has gone to the dogs,
literally. Dogs, in their historical complexity, matter
here. Dogs are not an alibi tor other themes; dogs are
fleshly material-semiotic presences in the body of
technoscience. Dogs are not surrogates for theory;
they are not here just to think with. They are here to
live with. Partners in the crime of human evolution,
they are in the garden from the get-go, wily as Coyote."
