✦ Synopsis


Domestic cat populations of former British colonies provide a unique set of data with which to evaluate the historical/immigration hypothesis because such populations are believed to sample an evolving parental United Kingdom stock at various times over the last three centuries. A regression of f coefficients upon separation time between founding populations, as inferred from historical records, is statistically significant. Selection is indicated as the mechanism underlying allele frequency change.

Gene frequency surveys conducted in Alexandria and Cairo reveal genetic profiles which are extensions of those that characterize the cat populations of European cities. For nine selected comparisons with Alexandria, regression analysis indicates that a linear function best describes the relationship
