I shouldve clarified, what i meant is that the dog bred after a billion times might not be able to breed with the original dog

2019-11-18 05:10:25 UTC  

Selective reproduction is not evolution

2019-11-18 05:10:52 UTC  

Well, a dog bred a million times probably won't even have the genetic traits to be classified as a dog anymore

2019-11-18 05:11:05 UTC  

How not

2019-11-18 05:11:19 UTC  

Well, as I said, dna changes between generations

2019-11-18 05:11:27 UTC  

It certainly look very different physically but it will remain a dog

2019-11-18 05:16:14 UTC  

Dna changes aren't just appearance wise. Since our dna defines how we develop, changes to the dna affect all parts of our body. The neural system. The digestive system. The circulatory system. I can name many more systems that make up the dog's body, but all these will be affected by changes in DNA. Meaning that through billions of breedings, there are billions of possibilities for changes to occur. Hell, along the way, I wouldn't be surprised if an offspring of the dog is born with a deformed reproductive system, meaning that the line stops and cannot reproduce even further

2019-11-18 05:16:43 UTC  

Classification of animals are based of their genetic traits, which is defined by their DNA

2019-11-18 05:18:05 UTC  

Evolution isn't Pokemon, there's no "set changes in genetics". Anything can happen, and if these changes are favorable to the animal, it is more likely to survive and reproduce

2019-11-18 05:18:34 UTC  

you said so much but none of it is relevant'

2019-11-18 05:19:17 UTC  

What I'm saying is that at one point, the dog's genetic traits will change to a point that it will no longer be able to be classified as a dog

2019-11-18 05:19:22 UTC  

No Pomergranates

2019-11-18 05:19:34 UTC  

you have no proof of that

2019-11-18 05:20:18 UTC  

even if he gets a deformed reproductive system for some reason it will still be a dog with a deformed system

2019-11-18 05:25:47 UTC  

you cannot breed to seperate species

2019-11-18 05:25:56 UTC  

I mean you could try but they wouldn't give you viable offspring

2019-11-18 05:26:06 UTC  

Ye phobias are genetic

2019-11-18 05:26:07 UTC  

Neanderthals and homo sapiens, for example

2019-11-18 05:26:20 UTC  

or a sheep and a snake

2019-11-18 05:26:24 UTC  

Well, that's a little back in history so that's a bad example

2019-11-18 05:26:31 UTC  

you *could* make them mate

2019-11-18 05:26:39 UTC  

but they wouldn't provide offspring

2019-11-18 05:26:44 UTC  

They won't produce offspring, of course

2019-11-18 05:27:19 UTC  

ya no such thing as Neanderthals

2019-11-18 05:27:26 UTC  

weak evidence

2019-11-18 05:27:33 UTC  

they could be just another human race

2019-11-18 05:27:35 UTC  

that died off

2019-11-18 05:27:40 UTC  

there is such a small difference

2019-11-18 05:27:41 UTC  

Their reproductive systems are too dissimilar to do anything

2019-11-18 05:27:59 UTC  

like you could see a bigger difference between southeast asians and africans for example

2019-11-18 05:28:14 UTC  

Better example

2019-11-18 05:28:28 UTC  

Donkey and a horse

2019-11-18 05:29:02 UTC  

Two different species, but the reproductive systems of their respective gender counterparts are similar enough to reproduce to make a mule

2019-11-18 05:29:23 UTC  

donkey is still a horse

2019-11-18 05:29:35 UTC  

🤔

2019-11-18 05:29:39 UTC  

Yup, still in the same ball park

2019-11-18 05:29:46 UTC  

yes i dont deny that at some point you cant reproduce

2019-11-18 05:29:53 UTC  

i know there is plenty of evidence for that

2019-11-18 05:29:55 UTC  

yesnt

2019-11-18 05:30:10 UTC  

Then where do you draw the line between species?
