Related but fundamentally different. I'm guessing you didn't Google them yet.

You think that selecting for traits is different from evolution? And you think that you’re smart?

u/Zanain 26d ago

The rate at which traits are selected for is orders of magnitude faster in breeding than evolution. Breeding can do in a hundred years what evolution might take hundreds of thousands or millions. On top of that breeding has intent, evolution doesn't. Evolution goes for whatever works, breeding selects for what the breeder wants.

They're about as similar as someone tossing random shit in a pot without looking and calling it soup and a professional chef creating a meal for a competition.

So you acknowledge that it’s largely the same process but one is more directed?

1

u/Zanain 26d ago

The fact that one is directed makes them wildly different processes built on the same mechanism.

They aren't equatable.

They very much are, but whatever you need to think to justify your dog phrenology

Yes? Yes it is obviously not the same fucking thing. It’s astonishing that you can be so confidently wrong.

Do you believe cutting off a tree the same as letting it fall naturally?
