How about the reverse? I want my pet mini-elephant!!!

Or have ever been married amirite?

MLWS: How about the reverse? I want my pet mini-elephant!!!

Mentioned in TFA, actually. Apparently getting smaller is 100 times faster.

Why am i having to correct evolutionary biologists that evolution is not simply things getting bigger?

They honesty say that large animals are the pinnacle of evolution. I can't believe i read that.

Actually, the elephant is normal sized. The man is a giant.

No Bevets? Awesome.

Raharu: No Bevets? Awesome.

Ha! Was going to say the same thing.

But did they create the universe's super being in that time?

So, how many generations did it take humans to turn wolves into chihuahuas?

With modern technology we can reduce that to 4 generations. The inevitable downside is that they turn on their creators in an orgy of blood and agony before the military intervenes and just kills everything (or did they?).

But they are adorable. Before they turn on you of course. Then it's just blood and agony.

That sounds like far too much.

Humans have been breeding dogs for only a relatively short while and managed to end up with an amazing difference in sizes. Granted humans deliberately breeding dogs might be somewhat more effective than natural selection and the biggest dog breeds are not that much larger than their wolf ancestor. I think breeding for smaller sizes is actually a lot easier than the reverse, but still millions of generations seems like far too much .

Quiet! If you summon him three times, he'll...

aw crap.

bevets-juice, bevets-juice, bevets-juice!

Wow thats a long time to get a bigger penis. The emails I get say I can get it bigger in weeks!

Hmm, so Bevets is like an insane ghost out to screw with everyone around him. That's strangely appropriate.

Alternatively, you know who else comes when you say it's name 3 times?

DRTFA, but wouldn't you need a very oxygen-rich atmosphere and optimal conditions to create mammoth mice? I remember reading once during some something-cene that the oxygen levels in the atmosphere were higher than they are today and that led to ease of growth, e.g. 3 foot mosquitoes, etc.

But can you find a tin foil hat to fit it?

Oh yeah "Ooh, aah", that's how it always starts. But then there's running and screaming.

Domesticated dogs, not having to hunt, drag down, and kill their food makes a huge difference. Wolves might have speciated into large-body killers of large prey and small-bodied killers of small prey, but foxes and others already fill that niche.

They are, currently, just like every other niche-filling animal. We're always at the forefront of evolution.

Any species not going extinct is at the "forefront" of evolution.

There isn't any other criteria. You "win" by not being wiped out.
