Every Viking had Feline Mycoplasma?

Not sure how I feel about that.

The study was presented at the International Symposium on Biomolecular Archaeology in Oxford, UK back in 2016, and sequenced DNA from 209 cats that lived between 15,000 and 3,700 years ago - so from just before the advent of agriculture right up to the 18th century. Found in more than 30 archaeological sites in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, these ancient feline specimens are helping researchers to piece together the beginnings of an animal that we share our beds with, but know surprisingly little about.

...

Shouldn’t cats be taking credit for human civilization? They organized us for their benefit.

Some would argue that the cats domesticated the human servants.

Cats sailed with everyone, to keep the mice down.

Just for the punchline at the end, this was worth reading.
