There's two themes of comments here. First is the observation of earlier evidence of selective pressure on plants and animals that humans used (arguably domesticated) long before TFA claims selective breeding was "invented". Second is the (I guess) counter claim that selection can happen without intent by human farmers. Both are obviously true, so I don't see the need for back and forth about that. And whatever side you fall on I think the claim by TFA is almost certainly false because it posits that the first definitive evidence we have of a theory and practice of selective breeding is in fact the first instance. Its crazy to think that's true.
