Scientists make a good case for speculation, in this example about the
origins and effects of dog domestication on human evolution, in science
when evidence is not so clear. At its best speculation can make connections
between diverse ideas and stimulate thinking along new lines.
Something to have peculating while you grill "burgers" for the long weekend.
