Ancient DNA reveals 75,000-year-old animal remains in Norway: PNAS study

A recent study in Norway unveils 75,000-year-old animal remains, challenging previous assumptions about Ice Age megafauna survival. Preserved in peat bogs near Oslo, the ancient DNA reveals that species like reindeer and musk ox thrived in northern Europe during glacial extremes. This discovery redefines our understanding of habitat resilience and opens new avenues for Ice Age research.
