Over the last 30,000 years of domestication from the grey wolf, dogs have evolved two whole new eye muscles -- the retractor anguli oculi lateralis (RAOL) & levator anguli oculi medialis (RAOM) -- to evoke sympathy & food from humans. Evolution can work pretty fast.https://twitter.com/TheAtlantic/status/1140795308483514368 …

That's selective breeding by humans though isn't it? We know that works fast. Different from just evolution.
As Darwin argued, there's a lot of overlap between natural selection, sexual selection, and artificial selection. All can work very fast.

Yes, but deliberate breeding for desirable traits is significantly different in it's ability to amplify specific traits

But isn't it just utilizing evolution (its mechanism)?
