Did you actually read the article I linked to? I ask because actual evolutionary geneticists don't agree with you, and I'm likely to side with them on the genetics of the matter.


i'm sorry, which evolutionary geneticists? the 1 sentence in a nat geo article about the genomes being similar, or...

from the looks of it, you found an inkling of confirmation and rolled with it. you think you got a science backing for your ideas, but nah, wrong. remind yourself when you read all the articles claiming "near identical DNA!" that human DNA is ~1.6% different from gorilla DNA. geneticists are seeing larger differences between domestic and wild cat species.


Can you point out the part of the article that disagrees with the assertion "cats are domestic animals"?


not only that, but which geneticist that was quoted in the nat geo article? lol
