Abstract

A mammoth’s life Fossils have long given us glimpses of the life that came before us, but these glimpses are generally static. They tell us a bit about species that lived, but not much about how they lived. Evolving techniques are deepening our viewpoint. Wooller et al . examined isotopes collected from the tusk of a 17,000-year-old mammoth to elucidate his movements from birth to death. This included his time—likely with a herd—as an infant and juvenile, then as a prime age adult, and then a declining senior over his approximately 28-year life span. —SNV
