A Message from a Guildie

You forgot the part where the dogs learned to swim across the ocean to places like Puerto Rico.

For this, let's consider two scenarios:

1) Humans bring dogs across the ocean to Puerto Rico, which separated them from their original species. This allowed for divergent evolution to occur.

2) An earthquake occurs, splitting a hypothetical island from the rest of the world. The dogs that are isolated experienced divergent evolution.

In scenario 1, according to the view held by Isaac, people are responsible for their evolution, which is for the most part understandable. In scenario 2, which happens much more frequently than scenario 1, the environment is responsible for their evolution, but there is nobody to blame.

So therefore, no matter how evolution came to be, as long as there is human intervention, there must be human saviors to "preserve" these Puerto Rican dogs? What about all of those that resulted from divergent evolution which occurred "naturally"?

The point is that species come and go. Why should certain species be preserved based on human sentiment?

Beat her up.

No.

But seriously, when dealing with idiots just ignore them most of the time. As for the dog thing, if you let the dogs keep living and then a large amount starve to death, the other ones who survived will be stronger than the ones who died and will keep living until there's too many again and then the cycle will repeat.

Or if people really want to intervene, give the dogs a peaceful death by lethal injection. That'll be both cheaper and more efficient.

Eventually we'll have a race of super dogs that take over the planet. Way to go, science.

That's not science, that's sarcasm...
