Mother nature is very random, natural selection and all that, but I doubt whether mother nature is selecting the traits we favour the most.
If you think about it, all seeds produced by a plant are as different as our children.
Same parents, different traits in the offspring, they carry the same features, but are quite different. The big difference between us and mother nature is, we help the plants with the qualities we like to survive. Mother nature drops her seed anywhere and in any weather, unlike hydro/coco or soil in a pot, we decide on the atmos(light times, heat, humidity, food etc), which cutting stays, and what plants gets crossed with another for the seeds we want.
Mother nature's cool, but slow.
