the wee mammoth whisperer
this child is probably a descendant of Helena's clan, a very prolific mitochondrial haplo group which arrived in Europe 20,000 years ago. There were seven main clans which geneticist Bryan Sykes categorized in his book "The Seven Daughters of Eve.'
Helena's group lived at a time when the ice age was at it's most severe. They hunted animals including the woolly mammoth which eventually disappeared as the climate warmed approx 12-10000 years ago.
Some scientists are trying to get viable DNA from frozen mammoths with the hope of cloning the lost species. ( why! poor things). It has not been successful yet.

This most amazing life size replica is at the Royal BC Museum. Russia also has the remains of a frozen baby mammoth (on loan to BC Museum last year) which still had vegetation in it's stomach. If you google Woolly Mammoth, a photo of the BC museum model will always come up.
The child is not a replica lol!
