What did people eat on the west coast of Scandinavia 10 000 years ago? A study of the DNA in a chewing gum shows that deer, trout and hazelnuts were on the diet. It also shows that one of the individuals had severe problems with her teeth Anders Götherström su.se/english/news/a…

New genetic analysis by @indianadiez and Love Dalén at Centre for Palaeogenetics revealed that woolly mammoths kept evolving over the entire history of the species.

Mutations in genes related to hair growth, fat storage, and thermosensation likely helped woolly mammoths adapt to a harsh, cold environment, according to a study by @indianadiez and Love Dalén at Centre for Palaeogenetics.
