Dmitriy Belyaev

scientist Russia

Dmitriy Belyaev was a renowned Soviet geneticist known for his pioneering work in the field of domestication, particularly through his famous silver fox experiment. Beginning in 1959, Belyaev selectively bred silver foxes for tameness, which ultimately led to significant changes in their behavior and physical traits, providing critical insights into the genetic and evolutionary processes underlying domestication. His research has had a lasting impact on our understanding of the relationship between humans and domesticated animals.
