    Is it any real surprise that human enterprises would have an effect on natural selection, which is after all simply adaptation to environment.

    It most certainly is not a surprise to 99% of science [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]fact[/COLOR]ion authors

    Evolution was well known and written about at these times indicated. In fact one of Darwin’s ancestors, Erasmus Darwin, wrote a bit on the subject too.
    Oh yeah well I was kinda more referring to "natural selection", rather than "evolution", which even then was accepted as likely the case as far as I am aware. What Darwin of course created was a theory by which evolution could take place. Evolution is fact in its broadest sense in that we have seen animals evolve.

    I also wouldn't rule out Larmackism completely but I'd consider it unlikely to be significant in the working of evolution even if it could be found to occur.

    Evolution itself is a selective environment.
    If you dont believe it, don't worry, it probably dosen't apply to you personally ;-P

    Though this was an interesting video. Might be relevant for this discussion.
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family Anatidae on our hands. "Douglas Adams"
