contents Recently, Arkani-Hamed et al. proposed the existence of zeros in scattering amplitudes in certain quantum field theories including the cubic adjoint scalar theory Tr($ϕ^3$), the $SU(N)$ non-linear sigma model (NLSM) and Yang-Mills (YM) theory. These hidden zeros are special kinematic points where the amplitude vanishes and factorizes into a product of lower-point amplitudes, similar to factorization near poles. In this letter, we show a close connection between the existence of such zeros and color-kinematics duality. In fact, all zeros can be derived from the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson (BCJ) relations. We also show that these zeros extend via the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relations to special Galileon amplitudes and their corrections, evincing that these hidden zeros are also present in permutation-invariant amplitudes.
