Everything Everywhere Daily - The Domestication of Cats (Encore)

Dogs and cats are both domesticated, four-legged, fur-bearing mammals. 

Beyond that, they really don’t have much in common. One of the things that they don’t have in common is how they wound up in the lives of humans. 

Cats established their relationship with humans at a totally different point in history and for a totally different reason. 

Learn more about the domestication of cats and how these wild animals wound up as pets on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Skyscrapers

If you were to pick a single visible icon to represent the 20th century, it would probably be the skyscraper. 

Skyscrapers didn’t really even exist before the 20th century, but by the end of the century, they became ubiquitous in major cities around the world. 

The skyscraper didn’t just appear out of nowhere. They wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for multiple technical innovations. Continued innovations have allowed skyscrapers to get taller and taller.
