Did you actually read the article I linked to? I ask because actual evolutionary geneticists don't agree with you, and I'm likely to side with them on the genetics of the matter.
- ivraatiems 3y agoCan you point out the part of the article that disagrees with the assertion "cats are domestic animals"?
- nerb 3y agonot only that, but which geneticist that was quoted in the nat geo article? lol
- nerb 3y agoi'm sorry, which evolutionary geneticists? the 1 sentence in a nat geo article about the genomes being similar, or... https://www.science.org/content/article/genes-turned-wildcats-kitty-cats https://www.science.org/content/article/genes-turned-wildcat... http://www.jabg.org/view/JABG_202303_02.pdf http://www.jabg.org/view/JABG_202303_02.pdf from the looks of it, you found an inkling of confirmation and rolled with it. you think you got a science backing for your ideas, but nah, wrong. remind yourself when you read all the articles claiming "near identical DNA!" that human DNA is ~1.6% different from gorilla DNA. geneticists are seeing larger differences between domestic and wild cat species.
