Comment on What is "human husbandry" called

Some seem confused so: There was no organized effort to selectively breed enslaved people. While the slavers did get to decide who would have children with whom. And they no doubt chose individuals with “desirable” characteristics. This isn’t the kind of multi-generational project that could possibly hope to select for traits.
The brutality of slavery may have had some selective pressure, but that was unintentional.
