New tests have revealed that the mammoths roamed northern Europe until 14,000 years ago, much later than had been thought. Researchers believe the animals died out as the...http://www.newser.com/story/62189/climate-change-not-humans-killed-mammoths.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 18 Jun 2009 9:46:01 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/57906/baby-mammoth-gives-up-secrets.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagA nearly perfectly preserved 37,000-year-old baby mammoth is giving up tantalizing secrets about her species, scientists report. The creature, dubbed Lyuba by researchers, still sports clumps of hair and eyelashes, according to the Telegraph .

Supporters of the impact theory point to a planet-wide rash of wildfires, but while a new analysis of sediment under North American...http://www.newser.com/story/49347/comet-might-not-have-killed-mammoths-after-all-study.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 29 Jan 2009 15:35:01 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/47383/the-5-best-species-to-resurrect.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagNow that scientists have the woolly mammoth’s genome, the possibility of resurrecting the giant creatures—and other impressive species from our planet’s past—is a bit closer. Which megafauna would you bring back? New Scientist lists its favorites: Sabre-toothed tiger.

It's the first time scientists have decoded the nuclear DNA of an extinct species.

The researchers found that frozen brain cells worked best, though brain cells haven’t worked when cloning live mice, and the...http://www.newser.com/story/41724/frozen-mice-cloned-this-guy-next.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 04 Nov 2008 9:20:00 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/20821/bc-movie-critters-strong-on-terror-not-accuracy.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe computer-generated critters in the movie 10,000 BC —due out Friday—all actually existed at some point, but their portrayal in the film is scientifically sketchy. Saber-toothed tigers and woolly mammoths weren't as big as portrayed, and the film's huge terror birds died out 40 million years ago.

But, much like the woolly mammoth, sometimes they vanish altogether, and linguists and evolutionary theorists have teamed up to compute their extinction times—in terms of half-lives. The study, published this week in Nature , shows that irregular forms of lesser-used verbs are...http://www.newser.com/story/9243/to-be-or-not-that-is-the-question-for-irregular-verbs.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 11 Oct 2007 10:44:01 CDT
