Episode description
Dmitri Belyaev dreamed of witnessing the process of domestication within his lifetime. Kat tells the story of how he made that happen with silver foxes, in spite of Soviet-era hostility toward the study of genetics. Thanks Stalin! Then, Hayley teaches the history of coffee and we learn the devil is good, food can be baptized, and coffee brings all the monks to the yard.
