What I Learned About Investing from Darwin

by Pulak Prasad

Not only is the experiment still ongoing, but Lyudmila Trut, who is now almost 90 years old, is still active! And not only is she active in the institute, she is also publishing path-breaking scientific articles. Herbeck was kind enough to attach four research articles published by Lyudmila Trut (and others) in prestigious scientific journals in recent years. The latest one was published in the Journal of Neuroscience on July 14, 2021, and is titled “Neuromorphological Changes Following Selection for Tameness and Aggression in the Russian Farm-Fox Experiment.” I used to feel proud that we have been successfully investing for over fifteen years. No longer. After reading about Lyudmila Trut, who has maintained her passion, discipline, and excellence over more than sixty years, I am confronted with a stark and painful reality. We have a very long way to go.
