Prehistoric Farming
Pretty good for goat herders.

We travel around the US with a team of men and women targeting places where we know we'll find sinners. We knew we would find some church going Christians but what we found was shocking. It wasn't the heathen at these wicked evil events. It was the entire church! Please pray for us as we go out to go find those that have gone astray.

This is selection under domestication. Not genetic engineering.
To clarify - The farmers did not directly manipulate the genes of corn, they manipulated the fitness criteria of survival. They selected and bred corn best fitted to their needs. The random occurrence of beneficial (for the farmers, not the corn) mutations was useful to the farmers because it fed the human population. In one sense we can say that this mutation was ultimately beneficial to survival of the corn because the mutation meant the corn could propagate in the environment of a farmers field.
By the way. There were no goats in the Americas till Spanish arrived.
I realize that. It is still working with genetics on a simplistic level much like the pea plants.

Hardy hardy. Just following the train of thought that is usually presented.
