The last population of woolly mammoths descended from fewer than ten individuals. Although the tribe recovered, the mammoths suffered from harmful mutations for thousands of years until extinction. This is shown by a new study, published in the journal Cell, carried out at the Center for Paleogenetics in Stockholm. The study provides new insi...
