Mammoth

Reed: It doesn’t feel like an odd choice for us. It’s a bit disruptive and, in trust, that’s the sort of thing we’re interested in, and I think that’s the sort of thing people need and the industry needs.People need something more from nature documentaries?Reed: I think so. We're in a period where you could keep looking at the natural world in the same way, or we can look at something in a completely different way. And even if it’s not for everybody, it just makes us look at something in a different way, and that can only…

Following Apple's decision to make sweeping changes to the App Store in the European Union, some developers might be confused or concerned about what the change means for them, their apps, and their businesses. Apple says that those developers can now get the answers they need and provide feedback on the changes as part of a 30-minute consultation with "an Apple team member."Apple is changing the way the App Store works in the EU in an attempt to better align itself with upcoming Digital Markets Act rule changes. Those…

As It Happens6:35How scientists tracked the 1,000 km journey of a woolly mammoth using its tuskWith nothing more than a tusk, researchers were able to track the 1,000 kilometre journey of a woolly mammoth that lived 14,000 years ago. "The fact that we can actually regenerate her movement, her place along a landscape … all comes from a few remains at this site gives us insight into behaviour of an animal that once existed and lived with ancestors of the first people here in Canada," Hendrik Poinar, an evolutionary…

Researchers traced a woolly mammoth’s movements using isotope profiling, linking it to human settlements 14,000 years ago. The study revealed the mammoth’s extensive travel and interactions with early humans in Alaska, offering insights into ancient human-mammoth relationships and the broader impacts of climate change and human activity on large mammals.

Genetic and isotopic analyses have pieced together a remarkable narrative of a 20-year-old female woolly mammoth, detailing her health, social status and travels – even though her story is more than 14,000 years old. It offers new insight into mammoth behavior and clues as to how humans interacted with the dwindling great beasts.Researchers from McMaster University, University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and the University of Ottawa undertook this ambitious project to chronicle the life of the mammoth named Élmayuujey’eh by…

About 14,000 years ago, the tusk of a 20-year-old female mammoth ended up at a campsite in Swan Point, Alaska.How the tusk got there will likely remain a mystery – perhaps the campsite owners hunted her, or came across her remains and took the tusk home with them.Fortunately for us, the extinct mammoths' (Mammuthus primigenius) life journey is written in the chemistry of their bones. The tale told by this one specimen – named Élmayuujey'eh by the local counsil – could help us better understand how others of her kind…

Vodafone and Microsoft have entered into a 10 year deal to provide IoT, AI and cloud services to small businesses and consumers across European and African markets. Vodafone will invest $1.5 billion in Microsoft's AI technologies, while Microsoft will become an equity investor in Vodafone’s IoT…

Nun cho ga, the baby wooly mammoth whose extraordinarily preserved remains caused a sensation after they were dug up by a miner near Dawson City, Yukon, last year, could soon be heading to Ottawa — at least for a period.The rare specimen — believed to be about 30,000 to 35,000 years old — has been stored in a walk-in freezer in Dawson City since its discovery. Now, the plan is to send it to the Canadian Conservation Institute in Ottawa to learn more about it."We need to preserve her. We need to respect her, and that's in…

Even if you have never used Mastodon before, Mammoth incorporates an intuitive user interface to make it easy to get started. For example, upon onboarding, the platform will give you personalized recommendations on accounts to follow. You can also find community leaders' handpicked "Smart Lists" on the app that are organized by topic to tune into conversations you care about more easily. Another deviation from Mastodon is that your "For You" explore page is not controlled by an "addictive algorithm," according to the…
