You can have evolution with artificial selection/selective breeding.
Granted, but I was talking about "what is and has been" specifically pointed at making clear the idea of why transitional species generally do not pop up in the fossil record as often as large masses of fossils of stable species. I should have made this more clear.

Therefore you are talking at a level of sophistication that was not posed in the original question, and thus your definition is vitiated in this context.
I see what you're saying here, but I think you're disingenuously reaching a bit to try and make my definition invalid because of the technicality that evolution "can possibly" be "slightly different in specific ways" than what I have stated only when humans get involved to change the existing mechanism.
