The article “How We Really Tamed the Dog: A daring experiment builds a new tame species in just 60 years.” nautil.us/issue/50/emergence/how-we-really-tamed-the-dog describes the domestication of foxes in Russia.
Given the nature of humanity and it’s relationship with the environment, there is a strong possibility that there will be little or no wilderness left on earth at the turn of the next millennium.
Is it possible that the only species that will survive the Anthropocene will be the ones that live in association with humans?

If the ultimate test for fox domestication is that you can walk them off leash, I can see how this is going to end up.
“here was a fox like Pushinka, who was so much like a dog that she came when her name was called and could be let out on the farm without a leash.”
