There are different types of selective breeding. They are:
- eugenic breeding
- dysgenic breeding- this is the sort of breeding that one group might force upon a subjugated rival group, so as to weaken them
- race-selective breeding
- status-selective breeding (this includes education-selective breeding, wealth-selective breeding, and other subtypes)
- character-selective breeding (this includes belief-selective breeding, ideology-selective breeding, behavior-selective breeding, and other subtypes)
- miscellaneous specialized breeding- selection of seemingly random traits, so as to create particular 'breeds' of humans, as has been done with dogs
