It still astonishes me in retrospect how perversely anti-scientific animal breeding was, despite its practical application.
Horse breeders would endlessly talk about the defining traits of a breed as a Platonic ideal, how they were trying to recover a lost purity from modern corruption.
I've heard it argued that eugenics misreads natural selection in light of the myths of animal husbandry.
