How did cats evolve?

Thank you so much for the upload. Fascinating!

Around 30:10 sorry if this may seem stupid to ask but what are u trying to say about the viruses, that we fault get them or what?

[@oamazonicodeliveryfranquia3301]

Dear Dr Stephen, you sure save my day , a lot of stuffs you just explainned, made so easily to link things together. Anxious to talk to you. Brazil

[@onoudont7272]

I put this on so my cat and I can go to sleep

[@laus7504]

I saw how dog evolution made sense because dogs started hanging out with us. But we have these cats who also have a desire to hang out with us too, They probably weren't captured or enslaved either. We dont eat cats. They live as companions in our home. A cat will bug you just to pet them. These guys want to curl up next to us in bed. Or doggy has a duty to sleep at top of the stairs. Damn raccoons (actually I think they're cute-not pets) a to protect us. There is something about cats and dogs where we have become companions. Its different from other domesticated animals. They came to be with us....at least that makes more sense. Sure it probably took many years and we met them half way without eating them :)

[@MrAILP]

Let's call the domestic cat just "Domesticat". Easier and catchier, and utterly pawsome!

Went to college for 4 1/2 years and still dropped out. Couldn’t pay attention for shit in class. Watched this lecture from beginning to end and was fascinated the whole time. Maybe I picked the wrong major 🤔

[@oamazonicodeliveryfranquia3301]

thanks a lot for this lecture Prof O'Brien,

[@tvanymesic]

Yo. Mommy cat makes baby cats in field of wheat where she hunts for mice. Little children find kittens. "Can we keep them?! Please!!!" BAM. Domestication of the cat.

[@aloneandscared1]

fascinating

[@Airbiscuitmaker]

+Joshua Whitfield From my reckoning from that moment we became their servants aka they domesticated us by, for example, their level of cuteness ; our weakspot. Besides , I tried to play fetch over and over again with different cats, but I failed miserably at it. Those purring furrballs however, kept their cool all the time and on the most unexpected and inconvenient moments they brought me "gifts" (different kind of prey) as well climbing on my lap. Guess what ? A "shoo go away" - command does not work. As in, their deeply entrenched hooked claws at least took care of that. Ouch.... But the purring and little headbutts are somehow enchanting enough to forgive them for that. Ravaged my curtains? Scratch marks on my furniture ? For some reason I cannot keep angry at them..... :-/

[@cuntinakia8122]

You forgot the >KAWOOOOSH< sound fx

[@jannisares]

Joshua Whitfield It was the other way around. Cats started hanging out with humans because it was easy food because the food storage attracted mice. So cats trained humans to honor the presence of the cats. They allowed humans to pet them so they became as any wild animal can be tamed.

[@jannisares]

Purrscratchheadbutt I've had many cats that love to play fetch.

[@quintonm9426]

very cool! thanks for the info :)

[@garzascreek]

Hey UCD, learn how to off-center the lecturer and embed the slides into the video. Or provide the slides in a download.

[@FilmaticProductions]

as an AV tech for a big university, your comment alone made me not want to watch the video (maybe listen). Simple stuff, you eggheads!

[@bearox8302]

Soo i really want to know the info but can someone please tell me summary of this where Do they come from?

[@neneirene]

14:41 he gives a good summary.

[@Leen-ih8ql]

Thank you. Soo much, Could you please give an example of a maternal inheritance and a multifactorial inheritance trait or disease in cats?

[@kidkique]

Is there a link to the PowerPoint presentation?

[@w8what575]

Cats don’t have a purpose to domesticate? Lol…ask anyone who lives near a field or outskirts of town if cats have a purpose lol…ask anyone who has a seizure disorder and has a cat as a medical assist pet…

Cacophony. Like when an orchestra gets together and tune up their instruments; that collection of sweet noises you hear of everyone playing nothing in particular at once.

[@JattFrealzTV]

"sweet noises" and cacophony however, do not go together.

[@r_j1956]

could have been more interesting

[@HistoricSteamTV]

There was large community urban structure civilization 20 000 years ago just look at Gobekli Tempe. This lecture is a bit too assumptive, not very objective study of human history.

[@keithturnbull7974]

I think this happened. Man begins to live in collective places, eg villages etc. Man starts to cook. Wild cat comes in to villages and steals food. Man chases cat. Kills it, and gets his food back. Cats kittens, discovered. Man brings ( cute ) kitten back to children. The children feed and play with the kitten. The kitten becomes a cat. The cat wanders off and mates. Comes back pregnant. The cat has kittens ( born in the village )... The Cats now become domesticated!!! Hey Presto...No science required😎😎😎👍👍👍😜😜😜

[@JosephKeenanisme]

The map not showing up? I see your problem, its the apple on your laptop. Good stuff though. Cats are even better when you strip away the woo woo and focus on the reality. The Dread Cat Bonkers and Schrodinger T. CAT approve of you of your work.

+Shawnise Bennett see what i find funny is atheists don't tell anyone what to believe but every religious person no matter what religion insists that it is the ONLY thing that you should believe in but then can't provide any proof other than an old outdated book. You can believe what you want to believe but religion is going to reduce to nothing in the next century or so because the new generation are being showed the truth and evidence of science and most people my age now believe in science and evolution and not a mythical man in the sky.

[@shawnisebennett9333]

I am just kidding OK I'm 14 alright?!

[@Airbiscuitmaker]
