Do you think man was able to make common dog breeds today from the grey wolf in a matter of 5, 000 years?
Maybe there is a logical answer that does not relate to humans..... but think of the canine family. We got labodors, pit bulls, weenie dogs. Where did they all come from. Did they not derive from a more common source????

As man scattered throughout the earth, since populations were low, would that essentially have the same effect as "selective" breeding? And now that races are very much living together now, called diversity, we are almost going back the other way??? 60 years ago, my dad chose a wife who was local, as did his father.... my uncles the same. In this day, it's not uncommon for a local guy to marry someone with a foreign descent . My fathers day was as if it were selective breeding producing like children. So, if the first families were what we might call diverse, such as Essau and his brother, And they moved away and settled in an area and those genes populated the area....... I'm just thinking out loudSelective breeding to emphasize certain traits.
Yes. Look at the variation already present in wolves, then add heavy selective breeding, and factor in the generation span and reproductive capacity of dogs. Look at all the variations in turkeys already present in the last couple hundred years that they have been bred from our wild turkey.
Yes, I do. Yet it is an unfounded opinion based on no experiential knowledge. The "AKC" foundation was established to try to maintain a pure breed. To keep a known breed from evolving. Recently, my family member bought a Lab. Mercy, it was like no lab I ever seen. None of the characteristics I know of Labs. I inquired if it was a registered AKC and they said yes. Since DNA is not taken and the father is assumed, it is still not proved to be pure bred. Another dog could have jumped the fence. So, I saw first hand how a socalled pure breed evolved into something else. And it's lost forever, never to be regained. Mercy, I'm just rambling. Ate to much of the chocolates my wife made for a christmas gathering.

Why are there different races?
Why are there different races?
There is only one race,the human race. All nationalities came about at the tower of Babel. When they tried to build a tower to the most High, and He dispersed them and confounded their speech( languages). Now it is merely different cultures.

So , when you fill out an application for employment, or a government form, you always enter (human) for your race?
That is a human designation. Not God's definition! There is only one race and one blood. There are color differences but that is all in the dna code. As is the different dogs and cats and so on. God said to be fruitful and multiply and subdue the earth, each after it's own kind. Man did not come from ape and ape did not come from man. Dogs didn't evolve from cats and vice versa.

No answer...ok, thanks.
One generation??!!
Sorry, I've never seen a white couple give birth to an Asian kid, a black kid, a Latino kid, an Arab kid, and a white kid. Unless there was some serious hanky-panky going on, anyway. If Eve was created from Adam's rib, I doubt if she was Hispanic and he was Polynesian. There shouldn't be that much genetic variation.
