Wrangel Island is a small island off the Siberian coast. The last mammoth population became isolated there around 10,000 years ago, when the island was cut off from the mainland due to rising sea levels. Our results show that less than 10 individuals survived the isolation event. 
We analyzed genomes from mammoths that lived 1.2 - 0.7 million years ago (Ma), and discovered a previously unknown genetic lineage of mammoth that diverged from from the woolly mammoth lineage more than 2 Ma. We call this new lineage the “Krestovka mammoth”.
