I won't say too much about it, in case you haven't seen it yet and want to, but I highly recommend it! It didn't, of course, solve THE mystery: where and from what did Mr. Blue come But it really was fascinating; I really liked the part about evolution. Oh well, I guess "Once an anthropologist, always an anthropologist" is true!

The most fascinating part to me was the foxes. When they started breeding only those who showed to be most tame, they started changing physically, ears dropped, colors came out, etc. because hormones changed! That was some positive proof to me that early humans must have done the same thing leading to different characteristics and then different breeds. But then the Victorians came along and really screwed things up
