the process by which humans have developed the species variation is called artificial selection. humans for more than two thousand years cultivated wild cabbage as a food plant, and generated different vegetables from it by selection.some farmers
wantes to select for very short distances between leaves, and so have bred the cabbage we eat.Some have wanted to select for arrested flower development, and have bred broccoli,or for sterile flowers, and have made the cauliflower. Some have selected for swollen parts, and come up with kohlrabi. Some have simply looked for slightly larger leaves, and come up with a leafy vegetable called kale.so different vegetables have evolved from wild cabbage by artificial selection.
