'..even through cross breeding of 2 or more different species or through selective breeding of 1 species to bring about a unique variant.' Man made meaning man's direct involvement in the literal cross breeding and/or direct literal selective breeding? As in Labs? How is/was this possible 5000 years ago??
Find and identify the sexual organs in the flowers of the fruit trees or bushes you hope to crossbreed, using a magnifying glass. The reproductive parts are called the stamen (male) and pistil (female). The exact shape varies among flowers, but the stamen will have yellow pollen emerging from its tip and the pistil is located just above a swelling ovary. 2 Determine whether the plants you wish to crossbreed have perfect or imperfect flowers. Perfect flowers contain both sexual organs, while imperfect flowers have one or the other. If some flowers do not have pollen and others do, your flowers are imperfect. Pollination involves moving the pollen from the stamen to the pistil; this often happens in nature by means of wind or insects. 3 Choose healthy, sturdy plants. Select flowers that have not opened for crossbreeding to make sure that natural pollination has not already occurred. Choose the pollen parents from plants whose flowers have heavy yellow pollen. Choose the seed parents from plants whose flowers have a generous supply of a sticky substance on the pistil; this catches and holds the pollen. 4 Snip off the stamen from the seed parent flowers with a small scissors if the flowers are perfect. If you do not do this, the plant may pollinate itself before you can pollinate with another species. Cover the seed parents loosely with plastic bags to protect against unwanted pollination. 5 Pluck out the stamens from a pollen parent using tweezers. Remove the bag from a seed parent. Grasp the stamen with the tweezers and use the stamen tip as a brush to pass pollen to the seed parent's stigma. Replace the bag on the seed parent. Mark the bag with a label, giving the two parent species and the date of the cross. 6 Provide the plant with irrigation and ideal conditions for fruiting. When the cross-pollinated flowers develop ripe fruit, harvest them. Remove and air-dry the seeds, and then plant them appropriately. Label the seedlings of each different crossbreeding so you will know which is which. When the seedlings mature into fruit-bearing plants, you can taste the new hybrid fruit you have created. http://homeguides.sfgate.com/crossbreed-two-fruit-plants-52831.html And to think they were this wise 5000 years ago..
