Lee Alan Dugatkin

Lee Dugatkin, Ph.D., is an evolutionary biologist, historian of science, and science writer. The Wall Street Journal describes his 2022 book, "Power in the Wild: The Subtle and Not-So-Subtle Ways Animals Strive for Control over Others" (The University of Chicago Press) as a "scrupulously scientific but highly accessible tour of power’s manifestations...readable and intellectually satisfying...Dugatkin’s depiction of power in the wild yields a stunningly provocative reflection." The New York Times Book Review calls his 2017 University of Chicago Press book "How To Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog)," co-authored with Lyudmila Trut, a “Sparkling ...Part science, part Russian fairy tale and part spy thriller... It may serve - particularly now - as a parable of the lessons that emerge from unfettered science, if we have the courage to let it unfold.”
