I wonder if the expedition got approval easier being comprised of researchers of Chinese descent. In any case, that was an outstanding bit of work.

The find consisted of fossilized bones, unlike the Siberian mammoth finds, which had flesh and skin with hair. How do they know it was woolly?

They always tell us with such “assurance” how old these fossils are but fail to tell us how they came to the conclusion of it's supposed age. I for one would like to know.
