Evolution
when will "breeds", created via artificial selection, need to be classified as separate species?

Are these two horses really
​members of the same species??
Welcome to Dr. Kate Brilakis' Learning Portal
Data sets that support evolution:
1. Artificial Selection
2. Homologous Structures
3. Comparative Embryology
4. Molecular Evidence (molecular clock)
5. Fossil Evidence/Transitional Species

What are some of the many fatal flaws of eugenics.
1. Complex traits like intelligence are not determined by single genes and simple Mendelian
inheritance.
2. Complex traits exhibit a strong environmental component (nature/nurture).
3. Homozygosity, the end game for eugenics, is genetically disadvantageous for a species.
4. Inbreeding, a byproduct of selective breeding, increases the likelihood that inherited defects
appear in subsequent generations.
5. Those most suited for survival out produce those poorly suited, therefore, the genetically fit
survive naturally.
