Ten thousand years back at the starting of farming, humans picked up traits, adapted and evolved due to selective breeding and artificial selection. Selective breeding modified human nature repeatedly throughout numerous generations. Many characteristic traits were determined by genes and todayâs day and age scientists can use those exact genes to shift around âcut-and-pasteâ an organismâs genes into another. By...
