"We forget that we are the biggest cause of evolution on the planet right now,” says Suzanne MacDonald, a psychologist and biologist at York University in Toronto, Canada, who studies urban raccoons"............... "We have this view of the wild as a pristine place" and of evolution as something that happens "in the wild"....................... "But humans in cities are changing the animals now".................. "And with so many animals going urban, humans must view cities as part of—not separate from—nature, adds MacDonald, a National Geographic grantee".......................... "To live in harmony with animals whose habitat we’re destroying, we’re going to have to do a lot more work in what we’re doing to them",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"It’s a pattern we’ve seen across the whole continent—they’re figuring out a way to deal with whatever we’ve done to the landscape," adds Chris Nagy, a wildlife biologist and co-founder of the research project Gotham Coyote"............. "It’s a lot of fun to study species like that"
