For a companion piece to a recently published study, PNAS editors asked Fiona Marshall of Arts & Sciences to quickly author a commentary about the global context of cat domestication, published July 20 by the journal.
Titled “Cats as predators and early domesticates in ancient human landscapes,” the commentary related to a study published a week earlier from a team of researchers in Poland, Germany and Belgium. Marshall is the James W. and Jean L. Davis Professor in Arts & Sciences.
