Summary

A análise mais completa do DNA de leões-das-cavernas (Panthera spelaea) já realizada revela que eles pertenciam a uma espécie diferente dos leões modernos, tendo se separado deles há mais de 1 milhão de anos. O estudo também mostra que esses superpredadores da Era do Gelo eram cosmopolitas e globalmente conectados, com populações da Europa Ocidental e da Sibéria fazendo parte da mesma grande população, apesar das enormes distâncias geográficas. Houve também cruzamentos ocasionais entre leões-das-cavernas e leões modernos.
