A team from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign traced the process from its beginnings on the island to captive fox populations around the world.
Every captive population the researchers surveyed -- even those in Eurasia -- originated from wild North American foxes.
Researchers analyzed new and previously published mitochondrial DNA data from wild fox populations and from 10 captive populations in North America and Eurasia .
The study sheds light on the famous Russian Farm Fox experiment, started in 1959 at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics (ICG) in Novosibirsk .
The study originated with the selection of farm-bred foxes that showed the least avoidant behaviors around humans.
Through successive generations, scientists selectively bred foxes with tame behaviors, eventually resulting in foxes as friendly as the family dog.
