I think many of us have heard the story of canine evolution stemming from humans' interaction with dogs' ancestor: the wolf. But the story of the evolution of the modern house cat is never talked about. Do we know much about the evolution of the many types of felines over recent millennia?

the main theory is that cats basically socialized themselves.

As we started getting into farming and building early communities we ran into a problem. Pest animals and insects. Eating our crops, making us sick, spoiling our food. Just good times all around.

But this came with a silver lining, for there was a creature that one might say was purfectly adapted to hunting these critters; the cat. And the cats followed their prey to our silos and around our homes. Early humans realized that the cats didn't care about us and just wanted to eat the pests.

&#x200B;

So we welcomed our fuzzy saviors and let them hang out. And slowly but surely that moved to bringing them indoors much like you would with a modern day barn cat. At which point we fully domesticated them and started breeding them to customize them.
