In some cases, the direction of evolution is intentionally controlled by humans. We call this artificial selection, or breeding - as in the breeding of cattle. In all other cases, nobody controls the direction of evolution.

Are natural selection and artificial selection opposites?

Natural selection and artificial selection are not opposites; rather, they are both mechanisms of selective breeding. Natural selection occurs in nature with environmental factors determining which traits are passed on to offspring, while artificial selection is guided by human intervention to produce specific desired traits in organisms. Both processes involve the differential survival and reproduction of individuals based on their inherited characteristics.
