The complex origin story of domestic cats: Research points to Tunisia

Researchers looking into the origin of domestic cats have long considered that cats likely accompanied early farmers during the Neolithic, spreading through Europe alongside the adoption of agriculture.

How in the Holy World could my father known this in 1950 and told me in 1975.

Taken together, these studies significantly alter our understanding of one of humanity's most familiar companions. Rather than silently trailing behind early farmers, slinking ever closer to human activity and community, cats likely moved into Europe in multiple waves post-domestication from North Africa, propelled by human cultural practices, trade networks, and religious reverence.

How much did this research cost ? To carbon date and cross reference DNA that ends up correlating common knowledge.

Cats have long posed a puzzle for archaeologists.

I would be more inclined to think of them has "A Measurable Certified Milestone" that can easily be used, In a lot more aspects than a pile of dry bones. The cultural aspect is a lot more interesting than that, And spending gazilions knowing where the first came out....

My father would be Mad that anyone would have spent a penny on that.

I don’t even like cats.

I love cats they are the most intricate beast you can befriend with.

But I would relate the origin of domesticated cats around 12,000 years ago when they discovered that in a city. With a little psychology, there was mammals even easier to manage than mouses.

And they brilliantly took advantage of it.

I’m not a fan of cats or plecos. I can’t explain why. Maybe a little psychoanalysis would uncover my aversion.

I can understand the aversion for plecos. But there's amazing cat fish none the less.

Cories are very entertaining fellows, I appreciate a lot.
