Jerry and Pete, I feel that you both completely missed my point.  I'm fully
aware that stock bred by human selection may be less fit in the wild.

 But my point is that either type of selection--natural or human--confers
fitness values for success in exploiting an environmental niche.  In one
case, that niche is not influenced by humans; in the other case it is.
Genetic adaptation follows just the same in either case.
