From Savannah to Sofa: The Evolutionary Story of Cats By Jonathan B. Losos
Why don’t lions and tigers meow? How did cats evolve from African savannah dwellers to household companions? This book, written by evolutionary biologist Jonathan B. Losos, explores the scientific and historical mysteries of our feline friends. Using modern research tools like GPS tracking, genomics, and forensic archaeology, Losos reveals how cats adapted—and were adapted by humans—over thousands of years.
The book examines why a cat might leave a dead mouse at your feet, whether keeping an ocelot at home is wise, and what cats symbolized in Egyptian hieroglyphs. Losos explains how natural and artificial selection shaped Felis catus into one of the most successful and diverse species on Earth. He also looks ahead: as humans change cats, cats change the world around them—and each other.
