So humans have been influencing the process of evolution pretty much the moment they set foot on this planet as all animals actually are all organisms that interact with any other organism in some way do influence the process of evolution.

As when we live in sort of a complicated ecosystem or community, there are lots of selection, selective forces that act upon members of a species.
00:25
And a lot of these selective forces come from that species interaction with other species.
00:31
And so, for instance, even just the fact that, you know, humans, early humans used to hunt using spears, that is somewhat of a selective force.
00:39
Now, if a certain animal evolves a thick enough hide to be able to withstand the piercing force of a sharpened stone spear, then that would hide, that trait would be highly selected for, that be highly selected for.

However, i believe, you know, this question is sort of getting to the crux of how humans are influencing the process of evolution a way that other animals don't...
