Do lions and tigers meow and if not, why not? Where and how did cats make the evolutionary leap from the African savannah? Why does a cat leave a dead mouse at your feet or even on your pillow? Is it so bad to keep an ocelot at home? And what did cats mean in Egyptian hieroglyphics? Evolutionary biologist Jonathan Losos decodes complex scientific and historical mysteries, reveals how modern researchers are unlocking the secrets of the cat's past and present using advanced scientific technologies from GPS tracking to genomics to forensic archaeology, and shows how, over the past few millennia, natural and artificial selection has shaped the modern cat into the most successful and diverse species on the planet in a relatively short period of time. Humans are changing cats, and cats in turn are changing the world around them, and this fascinating and fact-filled book reveals, among other things, what the future holds for both Felis catus and Homo sapiens.
