Study shows prehistoric people targeted female mammoths
Woolly mammoths were a favorite hunting target for Ice Age people in Eurasia and North America for many reasons. A single animal would provide a large amount ​of meat and fat. Its hide could be used for clothing. Its bones and tusks could be shaped into tools, weapons and art. And the largest bones ‌could be used as building material for shelters or other structures.

🚨 A #CPGSthlm -led study uses a large-scale ancient DNA dataset to uncover the origins of Upper Paleolithic mammoth bone accumulations 🦣🦴🦴🦴🦴🧬 In contrast to dispersed sites, accumulations are female-biased, suggesting they resulted from human exploitation! 🏹🍖 OA paper👉 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Mammoth bones reveal secrets of Ice Age hunters
Shortly before the peak of the last Ice Age, herds of woolly mammoths roamed across Central Europe, following seasonal routes through a vast, frigid landscape of grassland and tundra. Across the regio...

This frozen "Mystery Mummy" was found in the Klondike permafrost, and is likely several tens of thousands of years old!! But what species is this? We don't know! What is your best guess? We have a sample in our lab, and are working on sequencing it's DNA, so can soon tell you who got it right 😀

New paper 🧵 A team co-led by #cpgsthlm 's researcher @jcchacond.bsky.social has analysed DNA from a large number of mammoths across a million-year timescale 🦣🧬 The findings include the discovery and analysis of the oldest known woolly #mammoth in North America! 👉 academic.oup.com/mbe/article/...

A new Nature Index data set shows that progress towards gender equity in research continues to be slow. With just 27% of high-quality papers in the natural sciences having female co-authors in 2024, there is a lot of room for improvement #AcademicSky 🧪 #womeninSTEM www.nature.com/articles/d41...
