Resumen de Big cats evolved on Himalayan plateau

Jane Qiu

  • The evolutionary origin of big cats has been a mystery. Until recently, the oldest fossils, dating back to 3.8 million years ago. came from Africa, but analyses of the molecular relationships between living species suggest that big cats originated in Asia about 10.8 million years ago. Yet an Asian origin for big cats was disputed because there was no fossil evidence during that seven-million-year gap, says Zhijie Jack Tseng at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
