That’s true if you talk about nature as such. I was just talking about the selection part.
The thing is that there are quite a few species that “domesticate” other species. And while doing so, they conciously select for the specimen that best fits their needs.
Bears domesticated apples, selecting for the biggest aand sweetest, thus apples evolved from small and bitter to a bit larger and sweeter.
Ants farm aphids and also there they select for those that yield the most milk.
The big difference between humans and animals is that we form much more of these symbiotic relationships.

I don’t think so, at least in the context of natural selection.
GMOs for example are certainly not part of natural selection.
