Can we selectively breed humans?

Can we selectively breed humans?

Yes, selective breeding is alive and well right the way around our planet. The education processes that are being utilised to impose upon our children are designed to enhance class breeding and mind control.

Are human races similar to dog breeds?

The authors observed that genetic differences among regions accounted for only 3.3–4.7\% of global human genetic variation (much smaller than the 27\% of genetic differences among dog breeds reported by Parker et al. 2004), and that variation within populations accounts for ~ 92.9–94.3\%.

Why is selective breeding bad?

Selective breeding can result in better quality products and higher yields in plants and animals that have been bred for specific characteristics. Disadvantages include a reduction in genetic diversity and discomfort for animals that have very exaggerated characteristics.

Why pedigree dogs are bad?

As a side effect of keeping different dogs breeds separate, and focussing on breeding for appearance, there’s a lack of genetic diversity within dog breeds. This lack of genetic diversity can increase the risk of inherited diseases like cancer and blindness.

Why don’t humans have dog breeds like dogs?

The reason humans do not have breeds like dogs is because humans have never done (or if tried, never succeeded for long) that kind of active selection for specific traits and restriction of gene flow to themselves, to the same degree.

Is it possible to breed people?

Certainly not ethically. But yes, you can breed people, just like how you can breed any other living creature. Scientifically, breeding people works exactly the same way as breeding dogs, fish, cats, horses, or any other creatures: you (the breeder) select for the traits you desire.

Is there more genetic variation between human races than between dog breeds?

Although, in reality, human ‘races’ are more like different coat patterns on the same dog breed than they are like different breeds. There’s actually less genetic variation between human races than between dog breeds. As to why there isn’t more variation: Humans are highly mobile and interbreed too often.

What is the difference between a race and a breed?

Breed, noun, definition: Something BRED by HUMANS to have a specific trait, through the process of selective breeding. That’s why there’s no BREEDS of humans. Race, noun, definition: A completely made up rank in the taxonomy of classification of lifeforms, below the other made up rank called ‘species’.
