Academics say the darnest things. Hundreds of years of selective breeding in cows, chickens, pigs, dogs, cats, deer, horses, snakes (yessss), many bird species, many fish species, wheats, tree species etc. And of course human self-domestication. But this one trait is magical!https://twitter.com/drderringer/status/1099321810468986883 …

Time is an unavoidable limiting factor. Even with strong control, selective breeding takes multiple generations to show substantial change. Any examples of successful selective breeding in organisms with generational spans as long as humans?
