Emphasis added. To be correct you would have to substitute "vary" and "varied" for "evolve" and "evolved." Evolution is a consequence of variation and selectionNo it isn't. Evolution is random. Selective breeding is intentional and purposeful not random. They are nothing alike. Humans being part of the environment is irrelevant to the point. Organisms do not evolve to fit the environment. Organisms randomly evolve and sometimes those evolved traits are beneficial for survival in the environment. Sometimes they are not. Sometimes they are harmful to survival.
Which is the same whether the selection criteria are being determined by the environment or by the human breeder. The only difference is that the human breeder will also often intervene in mate selection.
