gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-09-19 17:00:18

Within the same layers of icy soil, researchers found woolly mammoth bones with evidence of human processing. This led some to wonder whether the “Tumat Puppies” may have been tamed wolves or even early dogs waiting around for scraps at a prehistoric butchering site. In a new study, an international team of researchers analyzed the p
