Summary:
Researchers who've analyzed the complete
mitochondrial genomes from ancient samples representing two species of
saber-toothed cats have a new take on the animals' history over the last 50,000
years. The data suggest that the saber-toothed cats shared a common ancestor
with all living cat-like species about 20 million years ago. The two
saber-toothed cat species under study diverged from each other about 18 million
years ago.
