I call it breeding and environment,,You said it yourself, it's micro EVOLUTION. The type of evolution you are talking about took place over millions of years (and your basic human really doesn't have a good idea of what a million of anything looks like, anything past 100,000 becomes just a number or a term, not something they can actually visualize).
Breeding and environment IS evolution. As things change or some variation of the species becomes better suited to the environment, the ones that cannot adapt die off, resulting in the change to the species. Just because the evolution is forced by mankind via selective breeding doesn't mean it's not evolution, just that man is forcing it to happen rather than waiting for the environment to change the resulting species. One of the things I've noticed in some of your posts is that you are calling for it to happen within a couple of hundred years, but that can't happen as evolution happens on a several generations scale, not several years.
You also seem to be looking for backwards evolution (asking if man can evolve back into an ape). I don't think that reverse evolution can happen, because in evolution, some traits are lost, never to return again, meaning that some traits are lost forever.
And, interestingly enough, there is proof that humans are still evolving, based on their environment changing. People in 1st world countries are taller than people several hundred years ago. And, there are other changes in the human race that have happened over the past several hundred years, which is because of our advances in science, medicine, and the ability to grow food better and faster, meaning people eat much better now than they did in the past.
ther is no proof anything is turning into something else as evolution claims happens or happening,,
