[sci.bio] Natural-Artificial Selection: was Re: Evolution vs.

hes@ecsvax.UUCP (Henry Schaffer) (12/14/86)

This doesn't mean that the biological mechanisms of a response to the
selective pressure are different.  Therefore the distinction is not
relevant to a discussion of creation vs. evolution.  However it is
often convenient to make this distinction when discussing, e.g. the
evolution of crop plants, in which there was a combination of both
natural selection and artificial selection.  So we have both terms.
