This frozen "Mystery Mummy" was found in the Klondike permafrost, and is likely several tens of thousands of years old!! But what species is this? We don't know! What is your best guess? We have a sample in our lab, and are working on sequencing it's DNA, so can soon tell you who got it right 😀

With all the new people migrating into BlueSky, we have created a small starter pack for aDNA (and other molecules) researchers. go.bsky.app/F4EPLJh 🧪🏺 #evosky #PaleoSky
