Abstract
Since How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog) appeared in 2017, molecular genetics research connected to the silver fox domestication experiment has been published in Nature and Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. Lee Alan Dugatkin writes about his connection to the project, the role of neural crest cells in domesticating foxes, and how dogs, bonobos, and humans fit into the picture.
