4、ermine the sex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth.“We were very surprised because there was no reason to expect a sex bias in the fossil record，” said first aut
5、hor Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of Natural History.
