Museum Traces Shaggy-Haired Bison Family Tree
University of Nebraska museum studies place the bison lineage on the Great Plains as starting around 500000 years ago during Ice Age retreat. Findings show horns shrank from 80 inches to 22 inches while body size stayed constant, with bison populations waxing and waning through climate shifts and human migration before near extinction with white settlement. Research will continue about five years.
