I'm fascinated by how scientists have finally got their hands on the woolly rhino genome. It's wild to think that this info was just chillin' in a wolf cub's stomach for 14,000 years And the fact that it wasn't human hunting but climate change that led to their extinction is so interesting. I mean, who knew that a warming period could be so deadly? It's crazy how much we can learn from these ancient discoveries. The more we uncover, the more I want to know about our planet's history
I don't know about you guys but another discovery like this just makes me wonder how we're still debating climate change . I mean, come on, 14,400 years ago the climate was already changing and it had a direct impact on the woolly rhino's extinction... it's not that hard to connect the dots . And what's with all the emphasis on early humans? Can't we just acknowledge that our actions are having an impact on the planet too? The wolf cub finding is pretty cool and all, but can we please focus on what we can do today to prevent similar extinctions?
OMG this is like totally mind-blowing!!! I had no idea that climate change was affecting animals so long ago and it's crazy to think about how the Bølling-Allerød Interstadial must have affected the woolly rhinos' habitats . It's also so cool that scientists were able to recover the genome from the wolf cub's stomach contents . I wish we could learn more about what happened to the wolves too, maybe they played a role in the extinction of the woolly rhinos?
I don’t usually comment but I am literally blown away by this latest discovery . The fact that we can still get some sort of DNA info from a stomach contents 14k years old is mind boggling. It just goes to show how advanced our tech has gotten, right? And the more I read about it, the more I realize how climate change was way ahead of us as a species . It’s crazy that we didn’t know this before and now we have all these answers staring us in the face. I guess you could say we’re finally starting to learn from our past . And what's wild is that it wasn't even hunting by humans that killed off the woolly rhinos, but climate change . Who knew?
