21．（6分）The Domestication （驯化）of Cats
For centuries, the common view of how domestication had occurred was that prehistoric people, realizing how uful it would be to have animals kept for food, began catching wild animals and breeding （繁殖）them. Over time, by allowing only animals with “tame”（驯养）characteristics to produce their babies, human b
eings created animals that were less wild and more dependent upon people. Eventually this process led to the domestic farm animals and pets that we know today, having lost their ancient survival skills and natural abilities.
Recent rearch suggests that this view of domestication is incomplete. Prehistoric human beings did catch and breed uful wild animals, but specialists in animal behavior now think that domestication was not simply something people did to animals—the animals played an active part in the process. Wolves and wild hors, for example, may have taken the first steps in their own domestication by hanging around human ttlements, feeding on people’s crops and getting ud to human activity. The animals which were not too nervous or fearful to live near people produced their babies that also tolerated humans, making it easier for people to catch and breed them.
