“Human behavior is not inbred; it is learned. “

Based on our experience with animals, it is likely that I could breed a human for aggression or a drive to go running. It would take at least a few dozen generations, and probably more. But we can breed dogs, on average, for retrieving, hunting, herding, long or short outruns, use of ‘eye’, etc.

I’d love to hear WHY humans have a ‘chasm’ that makes us immune to the techniques used successfully in other animals for a thousand years.

You could ahcive the same thing well into one's lifetime by proper conditioning (learning).

Because innate behavior doesn't exist in humans. We also don't know why gravity is, but we know it is.
