The oldest DNA retrieved from an animal fossil is ~1.6 million years old - a mammoth from icy Siberia where cold temperatures preserve DNA well. But have you ever wondered how long #ancientDNA is preserved in animal remains from sunny & warm Africa? Well, wonder now more! doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...
Looking for a postdoc to join my group at the NHM London & work on aDNA of dogs/wolves!

Archaeologists in Norway uncovered remains of 17th-century whalers at Svalbard’s “Corpse Point.” The graves reveal harsh Arctic working conditions, scurvy, injuries, and heavy tobacco use among young European whalers during the brutal early whaling era
🧬 New paper in Cell!
Analysis of 12 cave lion genomes shows that cave lions and modern lions may have diverged more than three times earlier than previously thought – as early as 1.7 million years ago!
AND…they interbred when temperatures dropped!
