Selective Breeding: How we have manipulated nature for cultural benefit …

- - - - When did "custody" transfer over? When did this radical modification begin?
        
        Amongst nature, there is a theory known as natural selection developed by Charles Darwin. This theory states that if 1) there is variation among members of a species and 2) some of these variations are more conducive to survival than others then 3) the amount/frequency of individuals carrying that trait will increase within the population.
        
        Humans, took the idea imbedded in this theory, that the genetic variation conducive to better survival within a species (plant or animal), and ran with it. Soon selective breeding was developed.

        Selective breeding can be simply defined as evolution at the hands of human beings. (scary)
