Washington University-Professor of Evolutionary Biology Jonathan Losos presents the past, present, and future of the world's most popular and beloved pet. The domestic cat has, from its evolutionary origins in Africa, been transformed in comparatively little time into one of the most successful species on the planet. Losos, writing as both a scientist and a cat lover, explores how researchers today are unraveling the secrets of the cat, using all the tools of modern technology. He gives us a cat’s-eye view of today’s habitats, including meeting wild cousins around the world whose habits your sweet house cat sometimes eerily parallels. Presented by St. Louis County Library and HEC Media.
