“’This is truly amazing as it implies that all traits now seen in Yakutian horses are the product of very fast adaptive processes, taking place in about 800 years,’ “
No. This is merely proof that someone purposefully and very deliberately bred the horses over generations to increase their chances of surviving the cold.
That’s much more impressive than imaginary “fast adaptive processes”.
Bingo! Don’t be so impudent in rejecting the common evolutionary fairy tale, you could get in trouble for that.
Think about that comment...
There’s no difference between humans culling out the ones less adapted to cold or the cold achieving it on its own...
