Apparently today's horses are not evolving as they should, at least according to this article at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,518641,00.html . Despite the collosal ammount of money spent on breeding faster horses isn't helping a whole lot.
"Evidence from the Triple Crown races suggests that the process of
selective breeding of thoroughbreds (as practiced in the U.S.) is incapable of
producing a substantially faster horse," Denny writes. "Despite the efforts of
the breeders, speeds are not increasing, and current attempts to breed
faster horses may instead be producing horses that are more fragile."
Despite all the talk about how evolution is a fact and not a theory, this might suggest otherwise, and I wonder how many other studies or facts like this are known?
This flies squarely in the face of evolution, which claims that Selection, Natural or otherwise, can lead from organism B to organism A+.
