Sometimes scientists will admit they’re amazed that we know anything at all about the ancient past. For the remains of a prehistoric animal to be found, conditions have to be just right. It has to have died and been buried quickly, perhaps in the silt of a river. Then it has to go undisturbed for eons, until someone finds it — and recognizes that it’s unusual. That’s why French scientists say they’re pleased to have found a nearly-complete skeleton of a woolly mammoth near Changis-sur-Marne, in the countryside northeast of Paris. They nicknamed it Helmut. “A true discovery, in its original context, is exceptional in France, since only three specimens have been exhumed here in 150 years,” write researchers from France’s National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP), in an announcement posted on their website and translated by ABC News.
