Thanks for this. Looking forward to reading and finishing both.
The real-life Siberian Fox domestication via intelligent design (breeding) in 10 generations was relevant. It showed that there is something of a "drag" effect for other physical changes that were linked to one selection-sensitive characteristic of friendliness/ trust with humans. Which strongly implies that fixations are not mathematically independent events.
The numbers are such that I rather doubt it can rescue the theory, but the question will come up in due course. At the very least, a boost in motivation to study "genetic drag" should get us interesting and useful new knowledge.
But maybe all that is in the books; better to read and know first.
Banjo guy is arrogant.
He is also right.

Both Keruru and Forrest Bishop had relevant posts today.
