I don't deny evidence of recent domestication. I do deny that this evidence
disputes my model. In fact, my model explains the selective origins of a
lineage that, millions of year later, would have the consciousness,
intelligence, and cooperative abilities to achieve domestication. The vague
notions that float around in your head render you incapable of this.
