Breeds are used to refer to domestic animals where artificial selection was used to exemplify specific traits.

Are you saying that the traits of different "races" were artificially selected for? Who was doing the selecting?

Your definition of breed is poor and self serving

But please, do tell me the real definition.

(Note that it says there's no scientific definition of breed either.)

Hey genius, what you posted contradicts what you are saying.

I'm not sure how you think it contradicts what I'm saying, but I'm waiting for your scientific definition of breed, please.

It's really obvious if you read it.

I did read it. It says there's no scientific definition. You said there is. So what is it?

Read the rest

If it has no scientific definition, it has no scientific definition. The fact that you can't provide one is good evidence. The fact that the thing you are telling me to read says so is much better evidence.

You apparently can't read.

What part of this did I not read?

Despite the centrality of the idea of "breeds" to animal husbandry and agriculture, no single, scientifically accepted definition of the term exists.[3]: 340  A breed is therefore not an objective or biologically verifiable classification but is instead a term of art amongst groups of breeders who share a consensus around what qualities make some members of a given species members of a nameable subset.

Apparently the whole thing. Either that or you don't know what it means. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7925393/ you should tell these guys what they study and track don't exist.

Still waiting for that scientific definition of breed. That link doesn't have it and the thing you've told me to read more than once literally says it is a term of art, not scientific.
