Based on our experience with animals, it is likely that I could breed a human for aggression or a drive to go running

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

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.

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

You are saying that we know humans cannot be bred for behaviour the way a dog can, when no one has ever TRIED to breed humans for 10 or 20 generations, let alone 100.

You are making a leap of faith again!

“We also don’t know why gravity is, but we know it is.”

How do we know gravity is?
