For example, as in the well-known example of domestication of foxes, just selecting for testosterone levels (one change) will produce domestication. In humans it’s the same basic developmental difference: 1) neoteny and 2) selection pressure: class size.
Vast racial differences.

@aptest_eve @JadeBai85455803 @SPQRIUS This fallacy is so well known in science that it has a name: Lewontin’s fallacy. It takes advantage of human ignorance of the size and functional composition of our genes, few of which are declarative and most of which are regulatory. In other words, tiny variation = huge effect.
