A mammoth tusk sticking out of the sediment.
Finally, in addition to recovering these million-year-old mitogenomes, we also present an improved DNA-based framework π§¬π for dating ancient samples beyond the limit of radiocarbon dating, which can facilitate more accurate reconstructions of speciesβ evolutionary histories!

A woolly mammoth tooth in the ground.
By analysing these very old mitogenomes together with >200 previously published ones, we were able to detect long-lost genetic diversity in the mammoth lineage during the last million years and to show how this loss coincides with past demographic and climatic changes.

A map with the mammoth sample locations.
We recovered 34 new mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) from Siberian and North American mammoth specimens.
Of them, 11 date back to the Early and Middle Pleistocene geological periods, spanning from ~1.3 million to ~125 thousand years ago.
