I don’t know the science and have never heard those claims, but I do know critters and they sure are friendly. I would say the single easiest critter to pet, right up there with deer. They are absolutely aware that no one wants to eat them and being cute gets em fed
That’s different to ‘becoming domesticated’
The claims about their snouts are evolving to become shorter, their eyes becoming bigger, and them becoming more friendly are all false.
They’re adaptable sure, but they’re not evolving to become domesticated.
