more clues to the location of the first
domesticated cat exist inside modern
cats too also in their DNA the reason
domesticated cats found anywhere in the
world today are descendants of just a
few ancient groups small numbers split
off and migrated around the globe each
of these subsets has less genetic
variation than the original population
if lions can find the group with the
most genetic variation she will have
located the closest descendants of the
first domesticated cats to obtain that
data lions will look at more than
ancient dead cats she will need access
to thousands of living cats from around
the world all that’s required is a
little saliva to reveal their DNA
mutations volunteers from around the
planet will collect these DNA samples
from their country’s domesticated
felines
as the mouth swabs arrived Lions will
eliminate areas from the globe and hone
in on the geographic sight of feline
domestication with a good sampling of
cats from all over the world will have a
very comprehensive study on cat
domestication all over the known cat
universe the team sends out swabbing
kits to the global recruits a search for
the first pet cat is underway
the alliance between humans and felines
is perhaps the most unlikely on earth
proud and self-reliant cats come and go
on their terms they don’t need us felis
catus can take care of itself the
domestic cat is one of the most Hardy
animals on earth an ingenious feline
form allows it to thrive in some of the
planet’s most hostile environments
living alongside penguins on islands
near Antarctica
on the Galapagos chain with little
freshwater cats get by they flourish as
scavengers in big cities and gypsies in
rural outposts
over 600 million claim residents in
households across six continents and now
they may have dethroned the dog as a
most popular pet on earth so where did
it come from
