The journey of the cat, that is. From the savannah to your sofa, these furry creatures have captivated human hearts and minds for thousands of years. And yet, despite their domestication, they still retain a wild streak, a hint of their ancestral past that refuses to be tamed. In this book, we will delve into the secrets of the cat, using all the tools of modern technology - GPS tracking, genomics, and forensic archaeology - to unravel the mysteries of their evolution and domestication. We'll begin with the wild cousins of our beloved housecats, whose behaviors are eerily similar to those of their domesticated counterparts. We'll explore how natural selection and artificial selection over the millennia have shaped the contemporary cat, and how they continue to adapt to new habitats around the world. But what does the future hold for these special predators and their human companions? As we look ahead, we'll discover the intricate dance between Felis catus and Homo sapiens, and how it may shape the world we live in. The story of the cat's domestication is a fascinating one, full of twists and turns.
Путешествие кота, то есть. От саванны до вашего дивана эти пушистые создания покоряли человеческие сердца и умы на протяжении тысячелетий. И все же, несмотря на одомашнивание, они по-прежнему сохраняют дикую полосу, намек на свое исконное прошлое, которое отказывается приручаться. В этой книге мы углубимся в тайны кошки, используя все инструменты современных технологий - GPS-трекинг, геномику и криминалистическую археологию - чтобы разгадать тайны их эволюции и одомашнивания. Начнем с диких кузенов наших любимых домочадцев, поведение которых жутко похоже на поведение их одомашненных собратьев. Мы изучим, как естественный отбор и искусственный отбор на протяжении тысячелетий сформировали современную кошку, и как они продолжают адаптироваться к новым местам обитания по всему миру. Но что ждет этих особенных хищников и их спутников - людей в будущем? Заглядывая вперед, мы обнаружим сложный танец между Felis catus и Homo sapiens и то, как он может формировать мир, в котором мы живем. История одомашнивания кошки - увлекательная, полная перипетий.
Voyage du chat, c'est-à-dire. De la savane à votre canapé, ces créatures poilues ont conquis les cœurs et les esprits humains pendant des millénaires. Et pourtant, malgré la domestication, ils conservent encore une bande sauvage, une allusion à leur passé ancestral qui refuse de s'apprivoiser. Dans ce livre, nous allons approfondir les mystères du chat en utilisant tous les outils des technologies modernes - le suivi GPS, la génomique et l'archéologie scientifique - pour résoudre les mystères de leur évolution et de leur domestication. Commençons par les cousins sauvages de nos domestiques préférés, dont le comportement ressemble terriblement à celui de leurs semblables domestiques. Nous étudierons comment la sélection naturelle et la sélection artificielle ont façonné le chat moderne au cours des millénaires, et comment ils continuent à s'adapter à de nouveaux habitats dans le monde entier. Mais qu'est-ce qui attend ces prédateurs spéciaux et leurs compagnons humains à l'avenir ? En regardant vers l'avenir, nous découvrirons la danse complexe entre Felis catus et Homo sapiens et comment elle peut façonner le monde dans lequel nous vivons. L'histoire de la domestication du chat est fascinante, pleine de péripéties.
viaje del gato, es decir. Desde la sabana hasta su sofá, estas criaturas esponjosas han conquistado corazones y mentes humanas durante milenios. Y sin embargo, a pesar de la domesticación, aún conservan una racha salvaje, una alusión a su pasado primordial que se niega a domar. En este libro profundizaremos en los misterios del gato, utilizando todas las herramientas de la tecnología actual -tracking GPS, genómica y arqueología forensica- para resolver los misterios de su evolución y domesticación. Comencemos con los primos salvajes de nuestros amados hogares, cuyo comportamiento es terriblemente similar al de sus semejantes domesticados. Estudiaremos cómo la selección natural y la selección artificial han formado un gato moderno durante milenios, y cómo siguen adaptándose a los nuevos hábitats en todo el mundo. Pero, qué les espera a estos depredadores especiales y a sus compañeros humanos en el futuro? Mirando hacia adelante, descubriremos la compleja danza entre Felis catus y Homo sapiens y cómo puede dar forma al mundo en el que vivimos. La historia de la domesticación del gato es fascinante, llena de vicisitudes.
Gatto viaggio, cioè. Dalla savana al divano, queste creature pelose hanno conquistato i cuori umani e le menti per millenni. Eppure, nonostante la loro domesticazione, mantengono ancora una pista selvaggia, un indizio del loro passato originario, che si rifiuta di addomesticarsi. In questo libro si approfondirà il mistero del gatto utilizzando tutti gli strumenti della tecnologia moderna - tracciamento GPS, genomica e archeologia forense - per risolvere i misteri della loro evoluzione e della loro domesticazione. Cominciamo dai cugini selvaggi dei nostri amati casalinghi, il cui comportamento sembra proprio quello dei loro fratelli domestici. Studieremo come la selezione naturale e la selezione artificiale, nel corso dei millenni, hanno formato un gatto moderno e come continuano ad adattarsi ai nuovi habitat in tutto il mondo. Ma cosa aspettano questi predatori speciali e i loro satelliti umani nel futuro? Guardando avanti, scopriremo una danza complessa tra Felis catus e Homo sapiens e come può formare il mondo in cui viviamo. La storia della domesticazione di un gatto è affascinante, piena di peripezie.
Die Reise der Katze. Von der Savanne bis zum Sofa haben diese flauschigen Kreaturen seit Jahrtausenden die Herzen und Köpfe der Menschen erobert. Doch trotz der Domestizierung behalten sie immer noch einen wilden Streifen, eine Anspielung auf ihre ursprüngliche Vergangenheit, die sich weigert, gezähmt zu werden. In diesem Buch tauchen wir in die Geheimnisse der Katze ein und nutzen alle Werkzeuge der modernen Technologie - GPS-Tracking, Genomik und forensische Archäologie -, um die Geheimnisse ihrer Evolution und Domestizierung zu lüften. Beginnen wir mit den wilden Cousins unserer geliebten Haushalte, deren Verhalten dem ihrer domestizierten Mitmenschen unheimlich ähnlich ist. Wir werden untersuchen, wie natürliche Selektion und künstliche Selektion die moderne Katze im Laufe der Jahrtausende geprägt haben und wie sie sich weiterhin an neue bensräume auf der ganzen Welt anpassen. Doch was erwartet diese besonderen Raubtiere und ihre Begleiter - die Menschen in der Zukunft? Mit Blick auf die Zukunft entdecken wir den komplexen Tanz zwischen Felis catus und Homo sapiens und wie er die Welt, in der wir leben, prägen kann. Die Geschichte der Domestizierung einer Katze ist faszinierend, voller Wendungen.
