Today, we learned many new scientific facts as we researched online and interviewed different scientists.
I learned that most of the artificial selection of dogs carried out by humans involved certain favorable dogs being isolated from a larger group, and those dogs which were isolated were continually bred until a new breed of dogs with distinct traits emerged. For example, a dog with a good, positive personality would be isolated and selectively bred until a new breed of positive dogs would emerge.
I also learned that different breeds of dogs are still classified under the same species, since dogs from different breeds are still able to reproduce with one another, and also back-breed with wild wolves and other canines. I learned both of these facts from Jack Dumbacher during our practice interview session.
