the oldest form of biotechnology is : selective breeding
biotechnology included all kind of efforts that we use to obtain a desired genetic result from the reproduction of a certain organism. In the early years of biotechnology, we still hasn't developed a way to do genetic manipulation, so we do selective breeding to obtain our desired result
