How did wolves turn into dogs?

Dmitri Belyaev wanted to find out, so he launched a secret experiment in the middle of Stalinist Soviet Union to domesticate the fox!

An episode of the Wholesome Show podcast was recorded in front of an enthusiastic audience in the Eucalyptus Room at the Research School of Biology this month.

The hosts, Will Grant and Rod Lamberts from the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science (CPAS) were joined by Hannah Carle (Meir group, PS) to talk about the domestication of foxes in the Soviet Union.
