Channel: Palaeos
Date: 08/02/2022

Hoy, te traemos un nuevo episodio de nuestra serie "domesticados", donde exploramos lo que sabemos de los orígenes de las criaturas domésticas de las que hacemos uso. Y en esta ocasión, toca el turno a los gatos. ¿Cuál es el origen de estos animales? ¿Fueron los egipcios quienes los domesticaron? La realidad de su origen te sorprenderá.
