摘要

What does an ancient cockroach have in common with Keith Richards?The Beetles and The Rolling Stones took America by storm in the mid-1960s, but we all know the basis of their music actually has its roots in American rhythm and blues. While the "British Invasion" seemed like a revolution at the time, the music that theBrit boy toys used to whip American teens into a frenzy actually originated from the good old USA.Turns out that this isn't the first time something innately American has returned home. Entomologists have recently discovered that a cockroach genus common in Europe, Ectobius, actually likely originated in North America.
