Is it sheep and goats that are associated with catholics and protestants?

All breeds of dogsd are the same species.
Agruably wolves are too.
In Almost like a whale they say that pet dogs stay as puppies psychologically all their lives. In the wild puppies lick older dogs to beg for food.

So if my answer was correct, my question is: Who wrote almost like a whale?

Steve Jones. Great interesting read.

My question:
Who or what was the Bromley Contingent?
