2 Je krotkost klíčem k domestikaci? Beljajevovy lišky

02.03.2026

V této epizodě se podíváme na slavné Beljajevovy lišky – dlouhodobý chov, který měl ukázat, co se stane, když vybíráme zvířata pouze podle jejich chování k člověku. Jak rychle se mohou objevit změny podobné těm, které známe od psů? A opravdu tím vysvětlíme proces domestikace, nebo je realita složitější?
