Huge spoiler and confirmation about Changes

I was thinking of it from the other way around.  Tera is supposedly just a wolf.  And as a wolf she made the decision to present herself as a human.  She also apparently could understand and speak a human language.  I guess I'm assuming that her being able to function as a human means that she was capable of human level thought as a wolf.

Though there is evidence that wolves are crazy intelligent. Crazy. So for me it's not that much of a stretch. And remember that her functioning in society was limited to doing very wolfish things: tracking, managing a pack, running through the woods, et c..

They are intelligent.  She just, to my perception, seems capable of things beyond a wolf's level.  (And it also leads me to wonder if other animals in the Dresdenverse could do the same thing.)

maybe she's a scion of some kind?


Or you know, just a wolf.

Yes neurovore, my idea about LTtW is not the maximum likelihood method  , I've just a feeling, Very probably wrong. (But I am not completely sure about Occam as my friend)

[Warden John Marcone]

Yea, I'm goingwith just a wolf.

I've just had two days of bioinformatics colloquium, I could talk your ears off about the difference between parsimony and maximum likelihood if you like...

Tara was a wolf.  She recognized the wolf in others, and taught them how to become what she saw they could be.  Can anyone argue as of the last book that Billy and Georgia are anything less than a fully functioning Alpha pair of of a wolf pack?  Tara did not become human, she wore human form to follow her mate, and to teach her new pack.  She thought as a wolf, acted as a wolf, and if humans got confused, too bad.

Harry got that.

I can't see a wolf having the ability to bond to a human as a mate or speak fluent English.  I think I'm just trying to read too much real world wolf behavior into a fictional story.  (I hope Billy and Georgia aren't like an actual alpha pair, or another member of their 'pack' could beat the crap out of Billy and take Georgia  ).

Thanks, neuro, but I can't understand spoken English very well, so please let my ears alone. My textsbooks are clear enough, but if you have a summary of the colloquium, I would thank you for sharing it with me.
