Why have rodents been spectacularly successful? What role do you think human activity has
played in their success over the last 500 years?
Please answer the question fully and correctly.
Solution
because they are cosmopolitan in distribution, exploit a broad spectrum of food and out number
all other mammals. When humans ceased to be hunter gatherers and instead became farmers,
their lives and those of rats became intimately connected. Humans learned to grow and store
grain, and rats learned it was easier to feed off these stores than to fend for themselves. They also
discovered that human dwellings provided excellent shelter from the elements.
