Nature 14 December 2022. By David Nield. (Kote Puerto/Unsplash) The history of cat domestication stretches back nearly 10,000 years, evidence from a new genetic study shows, and the bond between humans and felines was most likely sparked by a shift in the lifestyles of our ancestors. An international team of researchers looked at the genotypes ...
