Hey /sci/.

What would it take to breed sapience into a non sapient species?

>> No.8181464

are you retarded?
just pick the smartest animals from the litter, and breed on with that, and so on.
it's not that fucking hard.

If we knew the answer to that we'd already have other sapient species.

If it was a concentrated effort to do that one task, probably around 20,000 generations of that species.

ITT, OP tries to justify his "love" of animals.

>> No.8181782

People have been doing it, the issue is whether or not constantly selecting for high intelligence = sapience.

At first it may seem logical for this to be the case but considering we don't even have a full grasp of the human mind yet there still could be other factors at play.

>> No.8181871

Potential bullshit alert:

Isn't there a hypothesis that cooking foods led to decreased musculature in the jaw and skull which led to a change in the brain structure ultimatemately higher intelligence? True or not, the point is that some mutations and environmental changes can lead to unexpected results.
