Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Genetic sex determination of 521 woolly mammoths based on genome-wide data • Naturally deposited mammoth remains are consistently biased toward males • In contrast, 70% of remains in Upper Paleolithic mammoth accumulations are female • This female bias suggests mammoth bone accumulations resulted from human exploitation
