"Shame/Retreat" is all delicate folk melodies and sparse, plaintive vocals, while songs like "Self Mutilation by Fire and Stone" rumble awake like sleeping mammoths and"Silent Salt" slings shards of hurly-burly noise rock.
And because Chasmaporthetes were likely strong enough to crack bones, they may have played an important nutrient-recycling role in the prehistoric ecosystem, breaking down the carcasses of large animals like mammoths, caribou and horses.
These bones belonged to brown deer, monitor lizards, freshwater turtles, and stegodons (an extinct mammal similar to elephants and mammoths), but the real prize was the discovery of a nearly complete rhinoceros with signs of butchering.
There is one down side to this exciting development: These unicorns aren't the all-white, flowing mane beauties of legend – instead scientists believe the animals looked more like rhinos, or pint-sized, one-horned woolly mammoths.
A lot has changed since the Stone Age: Back then we used to shoot down mammoths with bows and arrows, and today we sometimes eat animals three times a day that were raised entirely for slaughter.
The finding represents a significant turning point in researchers' understanding of the relationship of hunter-gatherer bands with the mammoths, Pedro Francisco Sánchez Nava, the institute's national coordinator of archaeology, said in a statement on Wednesday.
The state of California enacted an almost total ban in July on ivory, including that from elephants, mammoths and walruses, in a bid to prevent illegally poached elephant ivory from being passed off as other varieties.
During the last ice age, most of Canada was covered with thick ice but the Yukon escaped the glaciers—the wolf pup and caribou calf likely roamed the region alongside wooly mammoths and fearsome scimitar cats.
As he stalks his quarry through the wilds of medieval treatises on, for instance, the disputed existence of giants, even readers who share his fascinations — with mammoths or with medieval treatises — may weary of the chase.
Mezrich: I've been interested in mammoths since I was a kid, basically, and I've always been a fan of Michael Crichton and Jurassic Park, so it's always been on my mind to tell a story like that.
Armed with this chart, Cole compared these calorific values to those of animal species whose remains were found at the sites of Paleolithic cannibals, including mammoths, wooly rhino, auroch, bison, boar, rabbits, and various species of deer.
While Apple's affection for Jamaica isn't entirely new—Mac Rumors highlighted it back in 2013—it's nonetheless a nifty look at the lengths to which tech mammoths will go in order to protect their precious ideas.[Quartz]
Inexperienced male mammoths were more likely to travel alone, away from the herd, so perhaps it&aposs no surprise that these males were more likely to stumble into danger and die as a result, the researchers said.
The research offers a significant moment in the natural history of the continent: a definitive date of the mass extinction of megafauna — large or giant animals, like mammoths and giant sloths — in this part of the world.
The study, led by scientists from Pennsylvania State University along with scientists from elsewhere in the United States and Canada, analyzed a variety of indicators to show that these woolly mammoths became extinct about 5,600 years ago.
From the amount of genetic variation in each genome, the Swedish team was able to calculate the effective population size — a genetic concept roughly equivalent to the breeding population — of the woolly mammoths at each time period.
The dwindling population during this 40,000 year period suffered a reduction in genetic diversity of some 20 percent, the Swedish team reported, suggesting that the lesser fitness of the Wrangel mammoths might have contributed to their extinction.
So the idea is to use gene-editing techniques such as  CRISPR to insert the ancient robust genes  from mammoths into Asian elephant cells and create embryos that may grow up to be elephant-mammoth hybrids that can.
"Beyond suggesting that the last mammoths were probably an unhealthy population, it's a cautionary tale fora living species threatened with extinction: If their populations stay small, they too may accumulate deleterious mutations that can contribute to their extinction."
Indeed, it shouldn't come as a surprise that these ancient elephants frequently bumped into each other; for a time, mammoths had a territory that extended from modern-day Portugal and Spain all the way to the US East Coast.
Humans needed the mammoths to roam, to compact and scrape away the snow that kept the cold of winter from penetrating the deep soil, and to spread the seeds of grasses that would insulate the permafrost from summer thaw.
A kid playing with the new Lego City set about Arctic exploration might think that scientists excavate mammoths and saber-toothed cats out of ice cubes using enormous saws, ice crawling machines with huge claws, and four propeller choppers.
Some two dozen companies—from mammoths like Boeing and Airbus to Volocopter in Germany and EHang in China, along with a raft of startups—are riding a jet stream of technological advances to create smaller, battery-powered flying vehicles.
The really cool parts — the focus on surviving the elements, and a new feature that lets you tame beasts like mammoths and bears — is largely hidden behind a structure that has you fighting other humans and overtaking new territory.
One of Bocherens and his colleagues' suggestions was a rain-on-snow event — during which an impenetrable layer of ice freezes on top of the snowpack — that prevented the mammoths from grazing on the vegetation they needed to survive.
Dr. Graham said that he and his fellow scientists were surprised that the availability of water was such a powerful limiting factor for the woolly mammoths, and that it has often been overlooked in the study of prehistoric extinctions.
The discovery sheds light on Neanderthal populations who relied on the sea as a source of food, in addition to hunting and gathering on land -- a much different picture than those who were hunting mammoths in bitterly cold climates.
The later advent of eukaryotes set in motion evolutionary paths that led to a riotous assemblage of organisms over the eons like palm trees, blue whales, T. rex, hummingbirds, clownfish, shiitake mushrooms, lobsters, daisies, woolly mammoths and Marilyn Monroe.
To sustain a carving and collecting tradition that is centuries old, many Chinese artisans have turned not to ivory from elephants but from the tusks of extinct mammoths harvested from an unlikely place: the melting permafrost of Russia's Arctic.

" Rather than attempt the type of gene editing or high-tech de-extinction approaches being employed for species from woolly mammoths to passenger pigeons, Goderie chose a method known as back-breeding to create a substitute bovine he named "Tauros.
Much of it sounds like the science fiction of Jurassic Park brought to life: One group of researchers is aiming to create a "Pleistocene park" in Siberia's tundras, which will one day be populated with resurrected, modern-day woolly mammoths.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The world's last woolly mammoths, sequestered on an Arctic Ocean island outpost, suffered from serious genetic defects caused by generations of inbreeding that may have hampered traits such as sense of smell and male fertility in the doomed population.
Not only did the scientists hone in on a precise extinction date for the St. Paul mammoths—some 900 years later than scientists had previously thought—they were able to reconstruct a detailed series of events leading up to it.
In general, he found that the human body has the same nutritional value—in terms of fat and protein—of equally-sized creatures, but when compared to bigger prey, such as mammoths and woolly rhino, humans offered significantly fewer calories.
And, as mammoths like Lamia Joreige, Walid Raad, and Akram Zaatari have emerged as the "war generation" of Lebanese artists, this Beirut show paves the way for artists directly affected by the war in Yemen to create their own footprint.
If we were still in the prehistoric era, hastily escaping from stampeding mammoths, this mechanism would prompt us to defecate, vomit, and piss so we could shed literally everything weighing us down and and run at Usain Bolt-like speeds.
The bones of about 113 mammoths were discovered in two large pits — each about five and a half feet deep and 80 feet long, likely dug about 15,000 years ago — in the town of Tultepec, where a landfill had been planned.
Their results showed that the compositions of the Wrangel Island fossils, unlike those of their mainland counterparts, had not changed as the climate warmed 10,000 years ago when the ice age ended and almost all the other mammoths worldwide went extinct.
This population of woolly mammoths, one of the world's last, had been comfortably living there for a few thousand years — they had no predators (humans didn't arrive until the 18th century), a good amount of fresh water and plenty of food.
The scientists also found fresh evidence of interbreeding among the Ice Age Columbian and woolly mammoths, which crossed paths in locations where the more temperate regions of North America met the glaciers that then covered large parts of the continent.
If you think saber toothed tigers and woolly mammoths are cool, just think about what used to live in Australia 45,000 years ago: 1,000-pound kangaroos, 400-pound flightless birds, tortoises the size of Volkswagen Beetles and two-ton wombats.
They analyzed the collagen in 4,000-year-old mammoth bones and teeth from the island, and compared those results to bones from mammoths that had died in other parts of the world like Alaska and Siberia as old as 40,000 years ago.
But recent excavations in the Kalinga province of northern Luzon uncovered 57 stone tools and more than 400 bones of animals like monitor lizard, Philippine brown deer, freshwater turtles and stegodons, a now-extinct animal in the same family as elephants and mammoths.
"In many species, males tend to do somewhat stupid things that end up getting them killed in silly ways, and it appears that may have been true for mammoths also," said Love Dalén, an evolutionary biologist from the Swedish Museum of Natural History.
Though humans have been implicated in the extinctions of many megafauna species, like woolly mammoths and giant sloths, Kosintsev and his colleagues think our ancestors kept their distance from this rhino and that climate change was likely the main factor in its demise.
Around 12,000 B.C., dozens of mammoths, drawn to a water-filled sinkhole outside the present-day town of Hot Springs, some two hours south of Deadwood, fell in and were trapped; today you can view their remains at a museum on the site.
The persecution of the wolf continues the age-old devastation and ruthlessness our species has imposed on the entire outback of the American landscape ever since Lewis and Clark heard there might still be mammoths roaming out West more than 200 years ago.
Every day, you survive without spearing mammoths for food, and there's no point in trying to bop your enemies over the head with a rock because if you do, you'll just end up going to jail and your enemies will probably laugh at you.
Fossilized ivory from woolly mammoths, discovered beneath melting ice caps in Siberia and Alaska, has been touted in recent years as an ethical alternative to elephant ivory, a way to deter the continuing illegal trade in tusks that is threatening an entire species with extinction.
Even just prior to their extinction, the Wrangel Island mammoths' bones showed no signs of dietary or environmental stress — meaning these creatures died off in the middle of unchanging, if not propitious, ecological conditions on an island that wasn't affected by a changing climate.
The researchers said that their findings say nothing about the sex ratio of mammoths when they were alive, which they think may have been 50-50, only that males were more likely to die in ways that kept their remains preserved for thousands of years.
People were present there at a time when large expanses of North America were covered by massive ice sheets, and big mammals such as mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats, the giant short-faced bear, horses, bison and camels roamed the continent's Ice Age landscape.
"Many of the mutated genes are involved in male fertility [making sperm, in particular], cognition and motor control, and the perception of smell, so we can be reasonable sure at least some of these things were not normal in the last mammoths," Lynch said.
With their ability to communicate and read the sclera, the white portion of the eye, wolves connected with our gaze and helped us coordinate hunts and prey on the larger mega-fauna of the Northern hemisphere such as elk, bison and maybe even mammoths.
The scientists sequenced the genomes of two African savanna elephants, two African forest elephants, two Asian elephants, two extinct so-called straight-tusked elephants, four extinct woolly mammoths, including two from North America and two from Siberia, one extinct Columbian mammoth and two extinct American mastodons.
In Season 1, the troubled sheriff, Dan (Richard Dormer), with help from two spunky young deputies (Mia Jexen and Alexandra Moen), investigated a series of unsettling and often decidedly gross incidents that turned out to be linked to an ancient parasitic virus frozen in a mammoths' graveyard.
The number 175 refers to the number of elephantine species for the entire fossil record over 65 million years, not just the Pleistocene era covered in this story, which had only 19 species of elephantine mammals (elephants, mammoths, mastodons, etc.) when modern humans migrated out of Africa.
Rather, they&aposre hoping to mingle some of the mammoths&apos ancient genes with those of today&aposs Asian elephants ( Elephas maximus ), to increase the elephants&apos tolerance to the cold, said George Church, a Harvard and MIT geneticist who is heading the Harvard Woolly Mammoth Revival team.
Entranced with the iconic megafauna of the Pleistocene world—especially mammoths—she gained a reputation for evaluating paleoecological problems through numerous lenses and techniques, earning her the E. Lucy Braun Award for Excellence in Ecology in 2008, followed by the Ecological Society of America Cooper Award in 2010.
Reading John J. McKay's "Discovering the Mammoth," an unabridged version of the history Kolbert artfully condenses, one learns that for almost as long as they've been extinct, mammoths and their cousins have been to us figures of mystery, totems of the unknown and invitations to fantasize about the past.
On paper, at least, Rick Owens's show on Friday — held in the underbelly of the Palais de Tokyo here and titled "Mastodon" — had to do with eco-anxiety, woolly mammoths, an obscure 1960s Italian horror movie and the beekeeping that his wife, Michele Lamy, recently took up as a hobby.
No one's been able to bring back long-dead animals (including woolly mammoths) yet, though if scientists could snag some DNA before the species goes extinct, it seems possible: the Pyrenean Ibex, a Spanish wild goat that went extinct in 103, was successfully re-created using a surrogate goat mother.
As John McKay informs us, paleontologists finally learned what mammoths looked like — the upward curling tusks, the humped shoulder, the downward sloping spine — not by studying bones but by looking closely at ice age art made by those who'd observed the animals attentively, perhaps even lovingly, or wondrously, or worshipfully.
But if you get past the reflexive response (it helps knowing woolly mammoths were vegetarians) there are some surprisingly sound scientific, ecological and even ethical arguments for trying: The advances may also help preserve endangered species, protect fragile habitat and possibly even curtail global warming (more on that head-scratcher in a bit).
Chauvet's walls are painted with animal and human images over two distinct periods, separated by roughly five thousand years – the first from 23,2700-23,23 BP and the second between 211,503-250,2000 BP. Lions, mammoths, rhinoceroses, and cave bears make up the majority of painted animals, in addition to a plethora of other animals.
Remains have been found off the coast of California and in the Arctic, but Dr. Protopopov believes the new findings are a new species, unrelated to the so-called island effect, which has been bandied about by researchers as causing a decline in the population of mammoths, which eventually died out about 4,000 years ago.
For the first time, scientists have been able to pinpoint the date and likely cause of the extinction of woolly mammoths on this Alaskan island, once a part of the Bering Land Bridge that connected North America to Asia, but made an island when sea levels rose and glaciers disappeared around 14,000 years ago.
But Mezrich is even more interested in telling the stories of the people trying to make the mammoth a reality, dramatizing the lives of Church, his wife, Harvard Professor Dr. Ting Wu, their fellow scientists, researchers working for a competing cloning lab in Korea, and the conservationists at the Siberian preserve where the mammoths will finally reside.
More on this... Image Gallery: 25 Amazing Ancient Beasts In Photos: Mummified Woolly Mammoth Discovered 10 Extinct Giants That Once Roamed North America "Most bones, tusks and teeth from mammoths and other ice age animals haven&apost survived," study researcher Love Dalén, a professor of evolutionary genetics at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, said in a statement.
And they've discovered they can lower the temperature by as much as fifteen degrees, which is an incredible thought (Editor's Note: This is a speculative idea that Mezrich describes in more detail in the book, in which Pleistocene herbivores might help transition forests and shrub lands into grasslands, which absorb less heat.) The idea is to repopulate the area with mammoths.
That clearly suggests a preservation bias in the fossil record—and, since animals that get buried in hot springs, marshes, crevasses and sinkholes are much more likely to be preserved for posterity than those that die in the open air, the data confirm the inference drawn from the well-preserved specimens, that male mammoths walked alone, and suffered as a result. Papers
The Honor Note 22013 isn't the first phone to breach the 103-inch mark — it isn't even the first phone from Huawei to do so — but it is another sign that phones aren't going to stop growing, especially now that manufacturers are better than ever at slimming down their bezels, making these mammoths take up less space than they have in the past.
That evidence of successive waves of human settlement begins with hunter-gatherers who pursued mammoths and mastodons here some 12,953 years ago, as the last ice age receded, and on through the inflows and ebbs of cliff dwellers who occupied the area until around 1300 A.D. Much of that span is on view even to casual, astonished visitors like us.
Nevertheless, as writer Zoë Lescaze explores in Paleoart: Visions of the Prehistoric Past, 1830-19803, out this month from Taschen, it has been vibrantly present, whether in the dynamic Art Nouveau mosaics by Heinrich Harder at the Berlin Aquarium (reconstructed in the 1980s by Hans Jochen Ihle following their destruction in WWII), or the foreboding postwar depictions of mammoths and early humanity by Czech artist Zdeněk Burian.
When I dug my hole in the field, I could visit geological deposits from the last 15,000 years, going back to the Ice Age: There was a lake, and it was filled with one set of species; then it became sand dunes that had mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses; then it became forest, then it became farmland, and now it's my hay meadow; and with climate change, a whole new set of species has arrived.
As the lakes full of goo and oil that ten thousand years ago had swallowed woolly mammoths and saber-toothed tigers whole bubbled beside them, and oblivious tourists walked into and out of the adjacent museum, Owen Hanson posed with a lucha libre mask, a shovel, and expensive jeans for a picture shot by a senior-citizen private eye to be edited into a photo of a vandalized grave and mailed to a man called Robin Hood.
