Ancient domesticated cats' travel and relationship with humans resulted in their  widespread presence around the world.

Explanation:

The article in question is called "DNA Tells Tale of How Cats Conquered the World" by Tina Hesman Saey and it focuses on telling how cats spread across the world.

The article concludes from DNA evidence that cats spread to Europe from the Middle East after first being domesticated there. It concludes this by comparing the DNA of cats in those areas now vs the DNA of cats from other parts of the world. The study suggests that this spread was probably as a result of merchants travelling with their cats with some of them leaving to find new homes as cats are a territorial species and so could not have spread across the world were it not for travelling with humans.

subject: why anyone can be a genius.

occasion: moving forward in life.

audience: average person

purpose: to push you further in life

speaker: many famous geniuses.

here is the poem:

here is thy, and here is thee, genius is for what he can be.

poem is a matter of rhyme, but like ben frank said, life is a matter of time.

we have great inventors such as thomas edison, who said, "genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration." no, no perspiration as what comes from your skeleton.

we have great minds, from places of all kinds, such as yu kaw la chi tie, (now im switching languages because yu kaw was japanese.)

てちハラスイヒイス, てちラスイヒイス

てちのちみスイヒイス.

you are a genius, well not yet, but you are capable, and that is a bet.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
