4,WHO?
Domestic cats around the world can trace their origins back to the Middle East's Fertile Crescent, according to a genetic study in Science journal.
5,Summary key points
The DNA follows the origin of the cat and, according to the researcher of the science journal, investigates their origin from Middle Eastern wildcats in the world. The expert is said to be a cat tamed by two early agriculture Komi tea by them. This study is thought about from old days. The DNA evidence suggests that there is not European wildcat in the best group of the genealogy of the domestic cat apart from accidental cross. The earliest archeological evidence dates back to 9500 by cat domestication. It was thought that the cat equalled a human being at a Cyprian reconciliation place and lived then.
However, new result ...
I make clear that I am old to a domestic cat whether lineage is made. I escape from their wild relative, and, as for the model of the cat, it is thought that I have begun to live with a human being in the early time to be before 130,000 years now.
The study included a researcher from U.K., U.S.A., Germany, Israel, Spain and France.
