A non-European origin of F. catus is also corroborated by research from paleogeneticist Marco De Martino from the University of Rome Tor Vergata. His team's genetic analysis supports African wildcats as the ancestors of domestic cats.
Examining 70 ancient cat genomes from archaeological sites across Europe, Anatolia, North Africa, Bulgaria, and Italy, the analysis appears to pinpoint the domestic cat's most likely place of origin.
"Our results demonstrate that the dispersal of present-day domestic cats can be traced back not to the Neolithic or from the Fertile Crescent, but instead several millennia later and most likely from North Africa," write De Martino and colleagues.
