In a way, things like that already happen. Dogs and cats, for example. We have articially selected them to be the way we like. Cows, chicken and horses too. Lots of vegetables too have been domesticated. From an evolutionary point of view, those species are very successful. They don't even need nature anymore. Like our species, that are free from natural selection, they have trascended normal evolution, and if someday we travel to the stars, what other species do you think will we bring along?

I bet the unimpressive potato would be one of them. The potato will become an interplanetary species without even a rudimentary brain. It's only evolutionary achievement is being delicious when fried.
