The breeding of animals for specific traits for profit is the oldest form of animal husbandry. From the domesticated dog to the beef we eat. Animals have always been selectively bred to produce a desired out come.

With reptile people this is expressed in the way of an animal that looks a specific way. With Beef farmers its the animals ability to build muscle mass. Even tree farmers and fruit farms will cross breed different traits to produce an out come they can profit from.

The term genetic mutation conjures images reminiscent of the Island of Dr. Moroe. When in truth is is more accurately describe as Predictable Genetic Trait. Granted on some lever they are a genetic mutation but no different than blue eyes or red hair.
