Re: Two examples

You only have to look at pedigree dog breeds to see what a mess the Kennel Club breed standards have made of them.

The worst is the English Bulldog.
​
Their heads are so large that they ALWAYS have to be delivered via caesarian section.
​
Talk about unfit from an evolutionary standpoint.
​
Humans almost invariabley screw up animal breeds WRT fitness.
​
The American Quarter Horse breeders started breeding to put 1,500 pound, incredibly muscular bodies on top of teeny, tiny little hooves. They thought it looked pretty. This course of action has resulted in almost 50 years of widespread terrible degenerative arthritic bone diseases in the feet and legs very young horses. They are lame and unable to be ridden by the age of 6 or 7.

There's a reason draft horses have huge feet.

Re: Was Hitler right (sort of)?

​
Unless you want to deny that DNA is the basis of all heredity, then you must conclude that you are, indeed, an ape.
​
Why is that bad?
