People who's selective breeding just happened to coorespond with the way evolution really works were more successful than those who didn't. Humans who bred cows and chickens who produced more milk and eggs than evolution would have were actually more successful. Ditto for the Indians who bred maize to produce an ear of corn vastly more productive than nature. The whole point of selective breeding is to improve - from the human point of view - on evolution. Francis Crick and Richard Dawkins said evolution is of little practical value. I think we should take them at their word on that. Of course, I would not deny evolution has had an impact on human affairs: Evolution has produced results in some fields of "science", though - namely the "science of eugenics", "social Darwinism", and the "racial science" of the Nazis and others. These "scientific" movements can be traced directly back to Darwin, in particular his book, 'The Descent of Man'.
