If you've ever wondered about how wolves turned in to dogs thousands of years ago, you might have thought it probably took a long time. You might have thought that it was a complicated process, that all sorts of factors came in to play to domesticate the wolf. And you would be in good company.
Well, a rebellious Russian geneticist back in the 1960's wondered about this too, and he decided to try to develop a dog from scratch. Only, wolves are a pain, and he had already done work with red foxes, so he set about to turn a fox into a dog.
The results were surprising. And pretty cute. And the experiment is still running to this day. Find out how to domesticate red foxes, and what that tells us about evolution and domestication in particular, in this episode of The Cliff's Edge.
