The Intersection of Myth and Medical Truth: Werewolves and Hypertrichosis

The myth of the werewolf, a human who transforms into a wolf, is one of the most enduring and pervasive tales in folklore. 

Tales of werewolves could be found in many countries for over 2000 years. 

In the Middle Ages, people suspected of being werewolves were hunted alongside witches and vampires.

By the 20th century, the werewolf myth had evolved into a common narrative and appeared in a multitude of media properties. 

Learn more about werewolves, their origin in legends, and how the modern version was created on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
