I guess that is a correct POV for the short term; however, as I stated in post 19, I believe the correct focus is not only on the transfer of "more fit genes" to the NEXT generation, but to "many, many generations" of the future. I.e. what you call "more fit" is often the first step to extinction without even any life form having evolved from that briefly well adapted (or fit creature)Therefore the dogs and the wheat have adapted through natural selection to be fit for the environment in which they are emplaced. The source of this environment is irrelevant: it just happens to be man made.
For example, the lap dogs seen in the old painting of French aristocratic ladies were in the short term very well adapted, but now exist no more. I do not think being fit or well adapted, should be associated with transitory fashion etc., but more with the ability to survive for "many, many generations" in the wild, i.e. without having its existence depend upon "fashion support." I have no objection to "co-evolution adaptation" (for example as flowers and bees have) as this is not a transitory fashion preference, but a real mutual symbiotic aid to both mutually adapting partners.
What I am trying to distinguish is "adaptations" that are based on human transitory preference (or "fashion") from "real adaptations" that select for better viability for "many, many generations." I admit that there is no sharp division and that our disagreement is only about the time scales. (In the extremely long term, nothing is well adapted as the environment is changed.)*
Thus in an effort to be more precise, let me suggest that the "environment" to be adapted to for "many, many generations" is one that can be considered "static" as it does not on the average differ during those "many, many generations."
To put this into current context, many think the average temperature of the Earth is changing and some creatures are "adapting" but possibly those changes are not "real adaptations" if the Earth begins to cool again. Hard to be clear where we differ, but I hope you understand. I consider a "real adaptation" one that sends genes into the distant future. For example, the dinosaur genes, although modified, are now in the birds, but the genes of many humanoid creatures are not in man or another life form. The "tree of life" has had a lot of "pruning" - many limbs with many branches have not left any genes in life forms existent today. While these limbs appeared to be "adapting" and forming many different branches on this now cut-off limb, those "adaptations" were not "real adaptation"

*Back when I was more active against development of nuclear weapons, especially the very destabilizing MIRVed ABM, I often though that on the time scale I am considering for "true adaptations" nature's experiment with a large cortex in the brain was a very mal adapted development. (I was a supporter of the Polaris sub launched ABM as “second best” until all found and accepted non-violent means to settle disputes. Unfortunately, that adaptation is still “many, many generations” away.)
