Thank you for posting that. I'd heard references to that breeding programme, but had never before seen any details.

I saw a TV programme about it years ago. Always found it very fascinating. The domestication syndrome that he mentions at the end there is really interesting. In the north of Norway you'll see it in domesticated reindeer, herded by the indigenous population, the Sámi. Wild reindeer are uniformly brown and grey. The domesticated ones range from completely white to nearly black. It's all very cool.
