Mammoth in a thong

In an effort to make science even sexier than it already is, Hope Jaren has introduced ‪#‎ThingIStudyInAThong‬ on Twitter. This is my contribution.

Me and my mammoths

My name is John J. McKay. I write this stuff. I'm also writing a book about early discoveries of mammoth bones and carcasses and how Enlightenment thinkers figured out what they were. I use this blog to try out ideas share science news and trivia and ramble on about whatever seems appropriate at the moment. I discovered mammoths at the age of five when I found a small green mammoth among the dinosaurs in a set of plastic prehistoric animals. Fifty-three years later, the dinosaurs are all gone but I still have the mammoth.
