Summary:
Left: the phylogeny of the cat family, as revealed by analysis of mitochondrial (upper tree), and autosomal DNA (lower tree). Differences in the branching patterns relate to differences in inheritance patterns for maternal and biparental DNA, in a family where hybridisation has been common, and with strong male-biased dispersal. (Modified from Li et al. 2016). Right: the current distribution of species in the Felis genus, based on the taxonomy and distribution maps of Kitchener et al. 2017. Subspecies are only shown for F. lybica, the African wildcat. Felis catus is descended from F. l. lybica, from Egypt and the Fertile Crescent, encircled in red. From here, the domestic cat has spread to all continents except Antarctica.
