25、 so far as to call the story “fake news”. Paleoanthropologist （古人类学家） John Hawks wrote on blog platform Medium: “Is this just another case of the media sensationalizing（大肆渲染） what is otherwise a good science story?” Although we may not be seeing woolly mammoths at the zoo any time in the near future
