How repeatedly mating the same domesticated wolves gave us all these different dog breeds?
In: Biology
We didn’t mate the same wolves, we selected for certain traits, and bred to exaggerate those traits. Natural variation leads to small changes, we just exploited those small changes to amplify them
This is much the same way that broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and brussel sprouts are all the same plant, bred to have a different edible part of the plant.
