Middle East origin of domestic cats traced in study
Researchers led by Stephen J. O'Brien and Carlos Driscoll found that domestic cats descend from Felis silvestris lybica, with wild cats in Israel, UAE, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia sharing DNA with domestic cats. The work pinpoints a feline Adam and Eve around 130,000 to 160,000 years ago and notes domestication began 10,000 to 12,000 years ago amid farming.
