Yep, just like cows, dogs, domestic cats, and many agricultural plants. Evolution has been modified by human intellect for thousands of years. Philosophically, the interesting question is how one can measure or detect the difference between an intelligently designed and/or modified organism -- like Rose's fruit flies -- and one that evolved without any known intelligent input. In general, it doesn't appear that you can.
