Dogs _are_ an artificial creation of Humanity >Alberto Monteiro Sorry, (pending opinions of a better biologist than me) I disagree. We can breed dogs back to wild wolves with no difficulty at all. That is one of the big problems with the ModernSynthesis. All the proof is inferred. If indeed mutations are random and reproductive isolation is paramount to speciation, we have met that goal. Dogs should have split from wolves and become a separate species; not able to share their DNA with the parent line. That is, IF neodarwinism is correct.
