Evolution: Untangling the Woolly Rhino’s Extinction

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The woolly rhinoceros was a charismatic inhabitant of the frigid steppes of Pleistocene Eurasia. Now, the genome of an 18,500-year-old woolly rhino has been sequenced. It points to a thriving population less than 5000 years before the species disappeared.
