A stunning discovery of mummified wolf cub sisters in Siberia unveils a spellbinding chapter of our planet’s ancient history.

Examined through rigorous DNA analysis, these 14,000-year-old creatures prompt us to reflect on the purity of wolves’ wild existence, free from human domestication.
These findings not only challenge our understanding but also challenge narratives pushed by left-leaning institutions that often overshadow natural history with speculative theories.
Researchers originally mistook these well-preserved cubs for early domesticated dogs.
DNA testing negated this assumption, proving they belong to a now-extinct lineage closely related to today’s wolves.
These cubs, discovered near Tumat, Siberia, in 2011 and 2015, offer insights into the late Pleistocene era.
Their remains were found amidst signs of ancient human activity, yet they bear no link to human domestication.
The leader of this crucial study, Anne Kathrine Runge, highlighted, “It was incredible to find two sisters from this era so well preserved, but even more incredible that we can now tell so much of their story, down to the last meal they ate.”
Her work, published in Quaternary Research, dives deep into the cubs’ genetic data and chemical signatures obtained from their remains.
These studies show that the wolf cubs led lives similar to modern wolves in a dry, mild climate surrounded by oxbow lakes or riverbanks.
The preservation of fur and stomach contents indicates that these cubs lived off a diet of woolly rhinoceros and wagtail birds.
Alongside the mummified remains of woolly mammoths, these finds open a window to witness the intricate ecosystems of the time without definitive evidence that humans caused their deaths.
The cubs’ untimely demise, likely from a collapsed den, raises questions about other potential finds within the Arctic permafrost.
Such discoveries underscore the importance of respecting nature’s narrative, rather than concocting theories to suit politically charged agendas.
As DNA continues to strengthen our understanding, this study hints there could be more fossilized stories locked in the frost, waiting for conservative scientific inquiry to unfold them.

“Whilst many will be disappointed that these animals are almost certainly wolves and not early domesticated dogs, they have helped us get closer to understanding the environment at the time, how these animals lived, and how remarkably similar wolves from more than 14,000 years ago are to modern day wolves,” Runge said.
Without solid proof of domestication, such studies emphasize the need for honest, fact-based research.
