As the foxes got more and more domesticated, they began to show differences in appearance. These were things like curly tails, their ears not perking up, strange colorings on their fur. Super interesting and worth a watch. I think it also shows how dogs have evolved to recognize human faces and their connection to emotion. So fucking cool.
I hope that made sense. I might be a little drunk.
I've read a little about that study. The reason is that certain genes are linked, so when you affect one you affect the other.
