we are breaking the barrier of what we thought we could reach in terms of genetic studies. so, it was long thought thati million years was this boundary or the barrier of dna survival but now we are twice as old. the ancient soil offered up some unexpected results. two million years ago, for example, north greenland was much warmer than it is now. in fact, the average annual temperatures were about 11 19 degrees hotter and the presence of mastodon dna was a particular surprise, since no one had found the elephant like creatures in greenland before. at a critical time for our planet, the ancient world could offer clues about how to adjust to contemporary dangers of climate change. tom brada, bbc news. the sculptor, veronica ryan, who made the uk s first

in the landscape together with a lot of different plant species. the research was carried out in the northernmost part of greenland, in an area called the kap kobenhavn formation. often, scientists rely on animal fossils for a glimpse into the past, but 2 million year old animal fossils are extremely rare there, so instead, the team turned to something called environmental dna. this is genetic material shed from plants and animals, like skin cells or droppings, which build up in the surroundings. we are breaking the barrier of what we thought we could reach in terms of genetic studies. it was long thought that1 million years was the boundary or the barrier of dna survival, but now we are twice as old. the ancient soil offered up some unexpected results. 2 million years ago, for example, north greenland was much warmer than it is now. in fact, the average annual temperatures were about 11 to 19 degrees hotter. and the presence of mastodon dna
