I hvert fald ifølge ny forskning, som tyder på, at det var dem, der tæmmede det vilde kattedyr og gjorde det til det, vi i dag kender som den tamme huskat (Felis catus), skriver Science.org. Teorierne om, hvordan huskatten blev tæmmet, har været mangfoldige, eftersom arkæologer har fundet katteknogler i menneskelige grave over hele Europa. Nogle af disse grave, for eksempel fundet på Cypern, var flere tusinde år ældre end oldtidens Egypten, hvor man før har t...2025-04-2902 minScience Of The TimesScience Of The TimesHow did dogs become our best friend?Dogs are people’s best friend, but how did that happen?  Did we tame them or did they train us, or is it a bit of both?  Join us as we discuss domestication with Greger Larson and Lachlan Scarsbrook2025-04-0239 minUnder the Microscope Biology PodcastUnder the Microscope Biology Podcasts0 pilot Professor Greger Larson on ancient DNASend a message, did we muddle up a fact, want to write/star in an episode, have a question or a topic you want covered?Welcome to Under The Microscope podcast: by Cheryl and Sofiia!Join us in our cosy biology cornerX/insta @utmpodcastbioUnderthemicroscope.bio@gmail.comUnder the Microscope Biology Podcast RSS Feedhttps://www.youtube.com/@Underthemicroscopebio/communityhttps://utmbiopod.buzzsprout.com/2024-10-2549 minSmart CookiesSmart CookiesDid we domesticate DOGS or did dogs domesticate us? With prof. Greger LarsonThe story of dog domestication seems as simple as pie - humans took some wolf puppies, brought them over to the campfire and the rest is history... However, the truth is far less straightforward and far murkier, sometimes even downright bizarre.From rabbits and chickens, to dogs and cats, prof. Greger Larson, an evolutionary geneticist from University of Oxford breaks down the extremely complicated story of humans and the process of animal domestication. 2024-07-251h 03Conversations with Ben O’Hara-ByrneConversations with Ben O’Hara-ByrneSum 41’s final tour and album takes fans to heaven and hellO.J.

Ды й яшчэ й побач з котачкамі, сабачкамі, ды й іншымі? Не заўсёды канешне, але я менавіта пра той выпадак, калі хтосьці нечакана пачынае усьміхацца, спрабаваць падхапіць, абняць, зазірнуць у вочы, а потым яшчэ абавязкова чуецца … «Оооооо, як гэта міла!». Не тое што б я сама ў такія моманты неяк па-іншаму дзейнічаю, але ж… гэта ж дзіўна, чаму так? Тым больш штосьці міленькае, маленькае, мяккае, з вялікімі вочкамі, маленькімі ножкамі не пакідае безымацыйным нікога, не залежна ад культуры, Радзімы, мовы, сьветапогляду. Як увогуле атрымалася так, што нам сапраўды цікава і прыемна глядзець відэа з мілымі шчанямі і кацянямі? Здаецца, што здольнасьць да расчуленьня - гэта нейкая ўсеагульная асаблівасьць, уласьцівая кожнаму прадстаўніку Homo Sapiens. Па якім прынцыпам мы дапасоўваем штосьці ці кагосьці да групы «мілага»? Што адбываецца ў нашым целе, перад тым, як мы скажам «Оооо, як міла»? Ды чаму ўвогуле гэтае пачуцьцё ўзьнікае? Гэты выпуск прысьвечаны тэме мілаты. І, спадзяюся, там вы зможаце знайсьці адказы на некаторыя вашыя пытаньні.
