AB  - Advances in paleogenomic research have provided new information about domesticated animals,
but we still know little about the history of cats. Until now, only one subspecies, the Near
Eastern wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica), was known to have been domesticated. The domestication
areas were assumed to be the Near East and Egypt. From this region, cats spread to the
Mediterranean and beyond. It has been accepted that the Roman legions played the primary
role in the expansion of cats through northern Europe. However, we found that cats that carried
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes of wildcats from the Near East were present in Central
Europe as early as the Neolithic, well before Roman times, and may have been associated
with Neolithic expansion. Our new results reveal the presence of the mtDNA haplotypes of the
Near Eastern wildcats in Poland even in the pre-Neolithic period. This may suggest that the
Near Eastern wildcats could have spread across Europe independently of agricultural expansion.
Consequently, the natural range of Near Eastern wildcats may have been much broader than
previously assumed. To understand how and when domestic cats appeared in Central Europe,
we performed a target enrichment of ca. 57,000 genomic SNPs. We believe that this will allow us
to definitively determine whether the appearance of the Near Eastern wildcat mtDNA in Central
Europe was a natural admixture between the two subspecies or whether it was a human-induced
dispersal of tame/domestic cats. The study is supported by the National Science Centre, Poland,
grant no. 2019/35/B/HS3/02923.

AB  - Despite significant progress in paleogenomics and the increasing amount of new data on
animal domestication, we still know little about the history of cats. Until now, it was
known that only one subspecies, the Near Eastern wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica), was
domesticated. The domestication area was assumed to be the Near East during the
Neolithic period, with a prominent role in ancient Egypt. From this region, the cats spread
through the Mediterranean and beyond. It has been accepted that the primary role in the
expansion of cats through northern Europe was that of the Roman legions. However, we
found that cats that carried mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes of wildcats from the

Europe might have been more complex than previously thought and could have been
related to the Neolithic expansion. Our new results reveal the presence of the mtDNA

AB  - A recent study from Central Europe has changed our perception of the cat’s domestication history. The authors discuss how this has led to the development of an interdisciplinary project combining palaeogenetics, zooarchaeology and radiocarbon dating, with the aim of providing insight into the domestic cat’s expansion beyond the Mediterranean.
