Abstract

THERE have been few detailed studies of the frozen remains of woolly mammoths (Elephus primigenius)1. Here I describe a study of evolutionary change based on the grouping of the hair follicles and the distribution of hair diameters. This approach has hitherto been possible only with domestic animals2.
