In which continent did the domestic cat originate?

PoC avatarPosted on October 11, 2020 by Michael BroadOctober 11, 2020

The domestic cat did not originate on a continent. It originated in the Middle East which is described as a transcontinental region in Afro-Eurasia. I guess that the area does not have the shape or the geography to be described … Continue reading →

Did cats domesticate themselves?

PoC avatarPosted on August 17, 2020 by Michael BroadAugust 17, 2020

The question in the title has been asked before but I’m asking it again now because National Geographic has just published an article in which they say that “Cats Domesticated Themselves, Ancient DNA Shows”. My immediate reaction is that National … Continue reading →

PoC avatarPosted on July 14, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 14, 2020

Humans should have domesticated an intelligent herbivore?

PoC avatarPosted on July 8, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 8, 2020
