It's been immortalized in Stone Age cave paintings and carvings and in museum displays as the quintessential Ice Age animal. How did this Ice Age icon evolve from an elephant-type species grazing in Africa to a highly specialized Arctic dweller?

Mount Everest Expedition Two researchers studying the fossil record of European and Siberian mammoths have traced the evolution of the woolly mammoth. The research has raised a few questions about current evolutionary theories. "Our study has shown that the origin and evolution of the mammoth is not as simple as many have believed until now," said Andrei Sher, a paleontologist with the Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution in Moscow. "The real story here is how much more complicated evolution is."

Did "Iceman" of Alps Die as Human Sacrifice? After the frozen mummy of a 5,000-year-old man was found in the Alps a decade ago, scientists speculated he had been a victim of bad weather, a hunting accident, or foul play. Now, an archaeologist has proposed that the man was killed as a sacrifice to the gods. GO Killer Cats Hunted Human Ancestors Three South African scientists have identified several carnivores that may have preyed upon human ancestors 2.5 million years ago. Analysis of fossilized tooth enamel indicates that Megantereon, an extinct saber-toothed cat with oversize fangs, the leopard, and spotted hyena hunted and ate early hominids. GO Search for "Lost" Atlantis Centers on Strait of Gibraltar The search for the truth of the lost island Atlantis has intrigued scientists and historians for 2,000 years. French geologist Jacques Collina-Girard suggests that Atlantis existed, was located in what is now the Strait of Gibraltar, and succumbed to rising sea levels at the end of the last ice age 11,000 years ago.

Gingerich, Director Organization The University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology was established in 1837 by the Board of Regents as the Cabinet of Natural History. Acquisition of fossil plants and animals has continued from that time. The museum is recognized as a leading national repository for fossil specimens. Among University museums, it ranks fourth in the country in size of invertebrate and vertebrate collections. The museum now houses approximately 2,150,000 fossil plant and animal specimens. The Museum of Paleontology is a research unit of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts . It operates under a Director appointed by the President and Board of Regents. Professional staff consists of five curators, five research scientists, a collection manager, a fossil preparator, an illustrator, and two office staff members. The museum supports two publication series, "Contributions from the Museum of Paleontology," established in 1924 for short articles, and "Papers on Paleontology," established in 1972 for monographs of longer length. Both series are published periodically and present primary research on collections housed in the museum. Financial support for the museum comes from annual allocations from the University's General Fund and from sponsored research programs.

Graduate Degree Programs in Paleontology and Paleobiology at the Florida Museum of Natural History The Florida Museum of Natural History, a research and educational unit within the University of Florida, has an active program in paleontology and paleobiology. There are three large, relevant research collections, including invertebrate paleontology, paleobotany and vertebrate paleontology , which taken together, include over one million specimens. The research facilities within the museum or in the affiliate departments are modern, comprehensive and include screenwashing and preparation laboratories, stereo, light, and scanning electron microscopes, mass spectrometer, image analysis systems, and paleomagnetic laboratory. In addition to the main UF libraries, the FLMNH includes the George Gaylord Simpson and Paleobotany research libraries, which together contain about 3,000 books, runs of 25 specialized journals, and 50,000 reprints. Prospective graduate students intending to pursue Master's or Doctoral studies in paleontology and paleobiology can apply to the departments of Anthropology, Botany, Geology, or Zoology

Movie Draw in Custer State Park was aptly named because it was the film site of "How the West was Won" and "A Man Called Horse," to name just a few classics. The archeological richness of the area dates even further back to when prehistoric hunters and gatherers lived among the shelter of the draw's rocks. Tools that have been found here indicate fascinating changes in hunting cultures. Sponsored by the State Historical Society, The Journey Museum and Custer State Park, this project is scheduled for Aug. 26-Sept. 4 and Sept. 9-18, 2002 . Volunteers must sign up for one full session.

HOME PAGE The First Fossil Hunters: Paleontology in Greek and Roman Times Adrienne Mayor With a foreword by Peter Dodson Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Griffins, Centaurs, Cyclopes, and Giantsthese fabulous creatures of classical mythology continue to live in the modern imagination through the vivid accounts that have come down to us from the ancient Greeks and Romans. But what if these beings were more than merely fictions? What if monstrous creatures once roamed the earth in the very places where their legends first arose? This is the arresting and original thesis that Adrienne Mayor explores in The First Fossil Hunters . Through careful research and meticulous documentation, she convincingly shows that many of the giants and monsters of myth did have a basis in factin the enormous bones of long-extinct species that were once abundant in the lands of the Greeks and Romans. As Mayor shows, the Greeks and Romans were well aware that a different breed of creatures once inhabited their lands. They frequently encountered the fossilized bones of these primeval beings, and they developed sophisticated concepts to explain the fossil evidence, concepts that were expressed in mythological stories. The legend of the gold-guarding griffin, for example, sprang from tales first told by Scythian gold-miners, who, passing through the Gobi Desert at the foot of the Altai Mountains, encountered the skeletons of Protoceratops and other dinosaurs that littered the ground.

Michael Skrepnick The Dinosauria: Truth is Stranger than Fiction Dinosaurs occupy a vaunted niche in the public mind; the very word conjures up images of gargantuan, now-defunct beasts that ruled the Earth long ago, holding a reign of terror for some 160 million years, and then mysteriously vanishing with only their titanic bones as evidence of their existence. "Dinosaur" reaches deep into our psyche and drags out nightmares from culturally-embedded monster myths. What is the truth about dinosaurs that underlies the popular awe and mystique that shrouds them? What does modern science have to say about the dinosaurs? Are they truly obsolete, long-extinct relics of a more primitive and experimental stage in the history of life, or is there more to the Dinosauria than meets the eye? Dinosaurs are animals that evolved into many sizes and shapes. Dinosaurs were and are quite diverse, and often one person will think of an animal like a long-necked sauropod, while another person will think of a large, fierce meat-eater like Tyrannosaurus rex . It should be clear then that the term "dinosaurs", or the scientific version "Dinosauria", is describing a diverse group of animals with widely different modes of living. The term was invented by
