How does the domestication of a species happen?
Can learned instincts be genetically inherited to offspring and become second nature over the course of hundreds of years? Would that mean that the way your brain is wired is genetically inherited?
I was just hugging my dog and it seemed second nature to him.
Behaviour is primarily genetic. Humans just selected those animals that were receptive to human contact, company, and commands and over time the species changes. Artificial selection is actually pretty interesting. It's crazy how rapidly evolution can occur. Most dog races around these days around no more than 200 years old.

Because when humans would feed wolves they'd raise the nicer ones and kick out the mean ones.
In layman's terms of course.
it's all chance, and a remote one at that.
species interact with each other and results in a favourable outcome, pattern continues forming behavioural and habitual bonds between them.

Yep animals tend to live shorter life-spans than humans Op.
Is it possible to domesticate black people ??? need 2 know for science fair

It's not the lifespan that matters, it's the time until sexual maturity. But yes, that is much longer for humans than most other animals.

yes, but since we abolished slavery is not possible anymore to make them become civilized

yeah, thats why they are fucked up.
>create a literal slave race
>set them free
>get mad because they still act like slaves
