Mice

Site: BBC LEARNING ENGLISH
Topic: How mice went global
Key Words:

  • colonize: …に植民地を建設する
  • originate: 起る、生じる
  • rodent: かむ、かじる
  • absolutely: 完全に、まったく
  • cosmopolitan: 全世界的な、多くの人から成る
  • chromosome: 染色体
  • seafaring: 船乗り業、船旅
  • colonist: 植民地開拓者、入植者
  • accidentally: 偶然に、誤って

This article says that we can know about human migration and where early colonists. This is because the colonists accidentally took their home-grown mice, and mice have DNA and genetic patterns that can be identified and classified like humans. Though mice are usually hated, they help us. So I think peopole should a little thank mice.
