based on Russian fox domestication experiment, 50 years of artificial selection can turn a wild fox into a household puppy. although I'll admit, it's likely way easier on social mammals as all they did is mess up their neoteny (extend child like traits into adulthood), in no stage of an octopus life they are sociable, so it might be harder.
slightly related trivia, most animal domestication involved neoteny, and it also happened to humans, so it is correct to say, we humans also domesticated ourselves.
So what you're saying is that puppygirls are the next stage of human evolution?
only if I get proper funding and absolute no ethical oversight. and I'll need everyone to suddenly get really cool really fast about eugenics
I'd rather evolve into a catgirl, personally...
