Yes we just need to recreate in lab conditions monkey to human and we are good to go (no I am not a creationjst, I just realize this theory is retarded)

The principle is demonstrated by the fact that you can take the underlying laws and turn them into engineering. The rest is just letting it run for an unfathomably long time.

Thus why the deep history bits are relegated to "article of faith" territory. Can't test something that needs a few million years or more to work out. Heritability is more immediate and obvious.

In the same sense that "physical laws are constant across observable space" is an "article of faith". It's consistent with the evidence, it works and is understood well enough to create engineering projects based on it.

You're engineering based on genetics and heritability, you aren't turning fish into dogs by speedrunning selection.

Is this not just selecting certain traits already present? Are there any dogs with traits not present in wolves and are unable to breed with them?

>Are there any dogs with traits not present in wolves Yeah, the "won't rip your throat out when hungry and scared" trait. Also the "is 10 lbs and wants to be pet" trait. Also the "will herd sheep and not eat them" trait, etc. >and are unable to breed with them Lions + tigers

Your little poodle, Fluffy, will eat your face first if you die and they get hungry. What I mean is that they revert back to animal instincts when not receiving proper socialisation from human. This is why pups need human contact as early as possible. The Liger is unnatural

No, they won't revert because of lack of socialization but all animals will eat when starving (including people in plane crashes in the Andes). There are very distinct behavioral differences between wolves and dogs (obviously).

The point about lions and tigers was that different species can still interbreed - it's a very long list that can and that one is just well known.
