The quagga is poorly represented in the fossil record, and the identification of these fossils is uncertain, as they were collected at a time when the name "quagga" referred to all zebras. [5] Fossil skulls of Equus mauritanicus from Algeria have been claimed to show affinities with the quagga and the plains zebra, but they may be too badly ...
The Humpata Plateau (Portuguese: Planalto da Humpata) is an elevated plateau and highlands region in southwest Angola, [1] part of the larger Huíla Plateau. [2] It has a semi-humid climate, [3] and acts as an intermediate climactic region between the arid Namib Desert to the west and the wetter Kalahari Basin to the east. [4]
Paleogenetics is the study of the past through the examination of preserved genetic material from the remains of ancient organisms. [1] [2] Emile Zuckerkandl and Linus Pauling introduced the term in 1963, long before the sequencing of DNA, in reference to the possible reconstruction of the corresponding polypeptide sequences of past organisms.

[1] [2] It houses over a million and a half scientific specimens, ranging from fossils up to 700 million years old to insects and fish caught a few days earlier. The collection also includes artefacts such as stone tools made by people 120,000 years ago, traditional clothes from the 20th century, and contemporary printed T-shirts.
Rebuilding a Species: background of the Quagga Project, which was started by Reinhold Rau. Reinhold Eugen Rau (7 February 1932 – 11 February 2006) was a German natural historian who initiated the Quagga Project in South Africa, which aims to re-breed the extinct quagga, a sub-species of zebra.
Quagga (Equus quagga quagga), an extinct sub-species of zebra. The first study of what would come to be called aDNA was conducted in 1984, when Russ Higuchi and colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley reported that traces of DNA from a museum specimen of the Quagga not only remained in the specimen over 150 years after the death of the individual, but could be extracted and ...
The fossils were first uncovered during the school’s modernization project, which began in 2022. The first find was unearthed in June 2022 beneath the school’s main courtyard, ...
Palaeoarchaeology (or paleoarcheology) is the archaeology of deep time. [1] Paleoarchaeologists' studies focus on hominin fossils ranging from around 7,000,000 to 10,000 years ago, [2] and human evolution and the ways in which humans have adapted to the environment in the past few million years.
