AMBER AND RUSSET - LATE COLOUR CHANGE GENES Copyright 2014, Sarah Hartwell The ancestors of the domestic cat were nondescript black/brown striped tabbies. Over the centuries, mutation produced a wide array of colours based on 2 different pigments. Eumelanin gives the blacks, browns and blues while phaeomelanin gives the reds, fawns and creams. A few other genes give further variations on those colours such silvers, colourpoints and solids/selfs. Mutations continue to occur and unexpected colours also turn up due to inbreeding where recessive genes, hidden for generations, start showing up. AMBER AND LIGHT AMBER During the 1990s, some purebred Norwegian Forest Cats in Sweden produced chocolate/lilac and cinnamon/fawn offspring. However, those colours are not found in the purebred Norwegian Forest Cat gene pool. Had the gene pool become polluted by someone, perhaps generations ago, breeding their Norwegian Forest Cat to another breed? ...

Tööstusrevolutsioon- Inimeste arvu hüppelist suurenemist mõjutas 19.sajandi alguses tööstusrevolutsioon, kus manufaktuurne tööstus asendati vabrikulisega. Toimus tänu ostuvõimelise turu moodustumisele, kapitali kuhjumisele, tööjõu vabanemisele põllumajandusest ja mehhaanika arengule. Tööstusrevolutsiooni algus 1760-1780 Inglismaal, alguses tekstiilitööstuses (orjatöö kasutamisele oli puuvill odav).

Inimese mõju tugevnemine loodusele Kauges minevikus reguleeris inimeste arvukust maa peal toit selle hankimine ja kättesaadavus. umbes 2 miljonit aastat tagasi kui inimesed toitusid metsikutest taimedest ja jahtisid metsloomi, suutis biosfäär st. loodus ära toita ca 10 miljonit inimest st. vähem, kui tänapäeval elab ühes suurlinnas. Põllumajanduse areng ja kariloomade kasvatamine suutsid tagada toidu juba palju suuremale hulgale inimestest. inimeste arvukuse suurenemisega suurenes ka surve loodusele, mida inimene üha rohkem oma äranägemise järgi ümber kujundas. Kiviaja lõpuks elas Maal ca 50 milj. inimest. 13. sajandiks suurenes rahvaarv 8 korda 400 milj. inimest. Järgneva 600 aasta jooksul, st. 19. sajandiks rahvaarv kahekordistus ning jõudis 800 miljoni inimeseni. Demograafiline plahvatus 19. sajandi alguses toimus inimkonna arengus läbimurre ja inimeste arv Maal suurenes 90 aastaga 2 kor...
