ANcient DNA

Cover Illustration for Science Magazine. 

This special issue examined traces of ancient DNA in rock cores. The brief required a timeline dotted with ancient pollen spores, showing evidence of mammoths at minus 1.2 million years, horses at minus 700,000, hominins at minus 59,000... Working through cave bears, lemmings and steppe bison to plants and crops in recent history.
