Species Evolution: Humans do this all the time with Animals. Cows, dogs, horses, chickens, pigs, just about everything wherein breading is controlled we have changed gene frequencies over time. Does anybody think that say a pug dog would have survived in the wild 10k years ago? Yes, by choosing which animals breed you effect which traits are passed, and the traits are in the genome. Therefore humans change gene frequency of creatures around us all of the time.

Evolution or adaptation?

Evolution or adaptation?

Adaptation is same gene frequency in given population, with new behaviors. Once the gene frequencies change, it’s evolution.
