Sorta sounds like a possible immune deficiency problem in 1 population after the (re)merging.
Amazing what geneticists can do!
Pretty cool stuff.
AIDS from Gay Wooly Mammoths?........
no second hand smoke killed em.
no the Masturbatordon never reproduced for some reason.

In light of this, perhaps humans should be added to the endangered list. Extinction looms.
Victims of global warming when the glaciers melted.
Perhaps it was Onan, The Barbarian...........
Our work, together with that of others, shows that the conditions for extinction can be set up long before the actual extinction event.
Gee, just like the Democratic party....
As for the wooly mammoth, maybe they made for a nice BBQ once you scraped off the wooly part. How tough could it be to kill one of these slow moving animals for a bunch of guys with spears?
It actually could have been a form of VD that left the unadapted population sterile. It wouldn't have had to kill them. How many years would it take for a disease like that to effectively cap 1 branch of the family?
Someone postulated that maybe only a few were actually killed by man. They’d kill one and talk about for the next 20 years..........
Where would a wooly mammoth get VD? Off a toilet seat?..........
Oh, oh. Dr. Barnes is gonna be in big trouble with Big al[gore]. Doesn't he know that it's always the humans' fault? I mean, how the heck are you going to enact cumbersome regulations stifling the liberty of human beings if animals insist on going extinct all by themselves?
