Ice Age

Researchers have extracted DNA and recovered the rhino's genome from a chunk of undigested meat from the stomach contents found in a wolf puppy's remains.

The never-before-seen biological snapshot provides insight into the young mammoth's final moments, expanding our knowledge of creatures that went extinct tens of thousands of years ago.

These findings contradict the notion that such diversity was mainly a relatively new phenomenon driven by selective breeding in recent centuries.

researchers report the European fossils display very low genetic diversity, indicating a small isolated herd marooned in the Upper Rhine Graben during interstadial warm spells.

New genetic evidence uncovers repeated waves of dispersal and surprising diversity among North America’s Ice Age giants.

The fossil, recovered with a human skull fragment and stone tools, shows reindeer lived beside early humans across the peninsula.

The findings upended long-held beliefs about how humans moved through the mountains and challenges long-held assumptions about ancient human life in Australia.

Researchers were surprised to see evidence of a woolly rhinoceros as part of the puppies' last meals, as this would have been a considerably large animal for a wolf to hunt.

"Finding the same tools and the same methods used to make these tools across this entire country suggests that people were connecting with each other over long distances."
