The crazy story of how Soviet scientists in Siberia in the 1950s embarked on a project to turn foxes into dogs through selective breeding-and managed it within mere generations.
Using the work started by Soviet biologist Dmitry Belyaev, who decided to gather up 130 foxes from Siberian fox farms and figure out just how long it would take to domesticate them, this volume shows how an experiment over time unlocked the molecular mysteries of domestication.
