Overview

Frozen in Siberian ice for forty thousand years, Yuka's body still carried a living message in her cells. Yuka's Last Signals takes you deep into that discovery, showing how ancient RNA and ancient DNA and RNA from a frozen mammoth body helped scientists read the final moments of a young woolly mammoth. Written in clear, engaging language, this book turns cutting edge lab work into a story anyone can follow, while giving you a solid grasp of mammoth genetics, ancient DNA research, and popular science genetics. You will see how a single permafrost mammoth discovery changed extinct animals science, opened a new chapter in de extinction science, and even raised new questions about ancient viruses in permafrost. Curious readers who search for yuka woolly mammoth, yuka the mammoth, or Yuka mammoth will find the full story behind the headlines here, told with care for both scientific detail and human curiosity. If you have ever asked yourself how did the woolly mammoth go extinct, wondered about woolly mammoth frozen in ice stories, or been fascinated by reports of a woolly mammoth found alive, this book gives you the evidence based picture of what really happened. You will explore proposals for mammoth resurrection, why permafrost acts like a genetic time capsule, and what scientists learn when they place ice age animals beside their modern relatives in woolly mammoth compared to elephant studies. From the broad history of the woolly mammoth to the fine scale activity inside one woolly mammoth frozen in ice, Yuka's Last Signals offers a rare chance to see how life, death, and time in ice can all be read from molecules alone. Whether you arrive searching for yuka mammoth out of curiosity or come for a deep introduction to extinct animals science, this book gives you a vivid, unforgettable journey into the science of a creature that still speaks through its cells.
