A Russian scientist selectively bred fur foxes by only allowing the tamest foxes to reproduce every generation. Tameness was the only selection criterion for the experiment.
Physical differences were recorded by the end of the experiment between the tameness-selected foxes and the wild-like foxes even though the experimenters where not trying to produce these physical effects..
The phenomenon described by Belyayev is also called domestication syndrome. All domesticated animals, INCLUDING HUMANS, have undergone domestication and like foxes experienced physical changes due to selection of desirable psychological traits. Domestication is also the reason why humans look so different yet are part of the same species.
This video thoroughly explains how domestication works in humans:
Genes that determine personality also determine the way you look.
You cannot separate personality from looks since the same genes connect them.
Dating someone for their personality is no longer a blue pill; it's black-pilled.
(From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox)After over 40 generations of breeding, in short, Belyayev produced "a group of friendly, domesticated foxes who 'displayed behavioral, physiological, and anatomical characteristics that were not found in the wild population, or were found in wild foxes but with much lower frequency….Many of the domesticated foxes had floppy ears, short or curly tails, extended reproductive seasons, changes in fur coloration, and changes in the shape of their skulls, jaws, and teeth. They also lost their 'musky fox smell'."[6] It was Belyayev's view that these new attributes, which were extremely similar to the attributes of other domesticated animals, "was the result of selection for amenability to domestication." His reasoning was that behavior is "regulated by a fine balance between neurotransmitters and hormones at the level of the whole organism ... . Because mammals from widely different taxonomic groups share similar regulatory mechanisms for hormones and neurochemistry, it is reasonable to believe that selecting them for similar behavior – tameness – should alter those mechanisms, and the developmental pathways they govern, in similar ways.
