Wolly Mammoths are ancient relatives of Elephants that went extinct during the Holocene epoch around 11,000 years ago. But one specimen frozen in the Siberian permafrost is revealing some of it’s secrets.
An international effort including researchers at the NSF Behavioral Plasticity Research Institute at Baylor College of Medicine and the NSF Physics Frontiers Center for Theoretical Biological Physics at Rice University have uncovered the fossilized chromosomes found in a sample of skin from a woolly mammoth that died 52,000 years ago.
