What makes you think that humans are not already domesticated?

• electromagnetic 17y ago
  If multicoloured coats were a development in domesticated wolves and foxes, then are humans really that far away? We went from a species with a very limited 'coat' colour, to everything from a near-white to black and all the natural pigment colours between. I myself have four pigments to my beard, red/blonde/golden-brown/dark-brown. Only a few dozen generations ago when my ancestors didn't live in mega-communities on the order of millions, but lived in a community of a few hundred they likely had black hair between them all. We're a predator species that is capable of living in numbers (without outside intervention) only surpassed by migratory birds and butterflies. We're not domesticated, because our purpose hasn't been changed to fit another species needs, however I would say with have been made extremely docile compared to our ancestors.
