Several of the hair samples investigated were up to 50,000 years old. One of the samples came from the first specimen ever recorded: the so-called Adams mammoth, found in 1799 and dug out of the permafrost between 1804 and 1806 by the botanist Michael Adams and members of the Tungus tribe. This mammoth died around 36,000 years ago. "Hair samples from this find were stored in a Russian museum for 200 years at room temperature, but still allowed for a complete analysis of its mitochondrial genome using only 0.2 grams of hair," Schuster said. As a result, he uses the term "museumomics" for his dream of deriving molecular-genomic-analysis data from the specimens stored in the collections of Charles Darwin, Alexander von Humboldt, and Carl von Linné.

The wooly mammoth lived throughout North America from 1,000,000 to 10,000 years ago in the period known as the Pleistocene. Wooly mammoths were an average of 12 feet high at the shoulder and had huge curving tusks. Their fur was very thick, reddish-brown in color, and with a heavy undercoat. The accuracy of these observations has been made possible by the discovery of species preserved in their entirety in the frozen parts of Russia.

most of my questions were about Gravity and its effect on the galaxy, it seems to me that if Gravity is spherical in all instance then our Galaxy and all the others that we observe would be shaped like a ball but so far all I can find are shaped more like a saucer.

please do not think I am a proponate or advisary,.. I am just wondering if these theories that are being spread around like facts do in fact have some merit in respect to gravity and the galaxy
and I post here to find answers not find opponates
