How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog): Visionary Scientists and a Siberian Tale of Jump-Started Evolution

byLee Alan Dugatkin

Tucked away in Siberia, there are furry, four-legged creatures with wagging tails and floppy ears that are as docile and friendly as any lapdog. How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog) combines scientific research, fieldwork, and chosen case studies, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of science, How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog) explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog) emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
