I don’t think this is a common art form (though it’s one I want to explore in more detail down the road), but I am aware of a few other very intriguing examples of [...]

No reliable observation has yet been made to refute the notion that livestock, pets, and crops evolved from wild predecessors.

All of these considerations apply in the study of evolution by natural selection as well. — T. Ryan Gregory, Artificial selection and domestication: modern lessons from Darwin’s enduring analogy
