Compare natural selection and artifical selection?

In: Biology, Charles Darwin [Edit categories]

Answer:

There is no "end game" in natural selection; this is because circumstances change over time and what might be best for one generation might not be so great for another generation. Also, natural selection is usually referred to in terms of "deep time" or hundred of thousand of years. So in comparison artificial selection is looking for immediate results and is directed not by nature, but by human looking for specific traits.
