Reply #59: If people can breed dogs and other animals to get the best qualities

[Mountainman]

by mating animals with the qualities they want, why then could it not happen by accident over a long period of time?

I believe that the traits a species acquires that help it survive are maintained and passed along to future generations. The ones that don't are not maintained. It just makes sense.

The only thing that tends to put some doubt in my head is the fact that the population in this country is getting dumbed down. May be ignorance is bliss and that it is a survival trait.
