######LOL ....that is also funny. The reason those breeds are, what word did you use, 'maintained,' is because stringent breeding is carried out. IT is the same thing in cock breeding, pigeon breeding (you should check that one out ...so many types have been bred, including some with vivid plummage, twisted beaks, even some that cannot fly), and so on! Basically the breeders (be they dog, cat, horse, pigeon) mate those animals with traits they desire.######
And what do you think I meant by "maintained"? Are you blind or can you not understand English?
#####To put it simply if i take Shaquille ONeal, and make him reproduce with a tall WNBA player, their offspring will most probably be tall. Now, if i mate that child with the offspring of Michael Jordan and another WNBA player, and i do the same for let's say 3 to 4 generations, i will start to consistently get a remarkably tall child. That is what they do for dogs, pigeons etc. The only problem with humans is sexual maturity takes too long.#####
Exactly! So much for nurture and environment.
#####Actually the best specimen for such a study is the Drosophila fly, which matures sexually very quickly and hence can have very many generations very quickly.#####
Generations of what? Perhaps we can follow your illusion and nurture the offspring into something else.
#####Negated!#####
Whatever you say, Einstein.

I can't tell what you two are arguing about. Either of you mind making it a little more black and white for me?
I mean...er...um...anyway, I was serious about the confusion as to what your debate is about, however.
