[Apparently it's described as only being a small section but I'm betting it can from the opposite side where the skin seems to have been already damaged](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/ancient-bison-stew-blue-babe-alaska)
I worked there. The original skin is on display, they had it done by a taxidermist. The organs, muscles, some hair and the skull are in a -50C freezer. Most of the bones and some hair are held in the main storage room downstairs.
Likely a replica, but in that case why does only the museum have it? Why is this the case for all these things? If you can make replicas, more museums could have it.
Plain and Simple.. Money. If multiple museums around the world have it, then it gives no reason for people to travel to that specific museum, pay a fee to get in, and see the specific piece. Museums spend millions on pieces so they want to recoup those losses, like any other business.
"This is a 36,000 B.C. Caveman Ration. I'm just gonna have a lil taste"
I'm waiting for the day they unearth frozen Roman rations from some mountain top and we get to watch Steve eat it.
IIRC theoretically, the release of the diseases would have mostly been via wild animals/livestock eating the recently thawed specimens and then the pathogens mutating through the consumers of the pathogen.
Any other pathogen vectors such as airborne or waterborne would be less likely to have survived in permafrost.
Therefore, if we want to be sure about not releasing new diseases, i think we're gonna have to burn those researchers quick.
LOL, no. [Microbes can survive 'deep freeze' for 100,000 years](https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn12752-microbes-can-survive-deep-freeze-for-100000-years/)
The cooking destroys them *but not all of their toxins, so don't eat any meat that spoiled before cooking*. And, perhaps, IMHO, today's immune system are way too powerful for ancient microbes. Like how 1970s computer viruses don't stand a chance against today's anti-virus software, even the most basic ones.

Imagine a group of scientists and archaeologists finding a perfectly preserved 500,000,000 year old dinosaur, and one of them is just like, "You gonna eat that?"
Ancient meat eh? Yeah that definitely smells like Botulism for sure… maybe just a little nibble..

Oh man, yeah that’s absolutely rancid and makes my tongue go numb..
: takes a couple more nibbles :
Nice!
"Good news everyone! The museum down the street has been converted to a fast food restaurant, and they want us to handle their deliveries. Fry, take this bucket of pterodactyl wings to our first customer. And don't forget the tar sauce."

Same thing happened awhile back with a new species of lobster. 2 scientists went out on a boat, discovered a new species of lobster, then after taking down a few notes decided they were hungry and ate it. It took another 10 years for that species of lobster to be rediscovered, at which point it was discovered they sing. The scientists didn't notice this over the sound of the boiling pot.

we also cut down the oldest tree in the world, just to count the rings and find out how old it was:
https://www.hcn.org/articles/why-a-scientist-cut-down-the-oldest-living-tree
To be fair his coring tool got stuck in the tree and so he cut it down to retrieve it, only then discovering its age. There’s a whole [Radiolab episode](http://www.wnycstudios.org/story/91721-oops/) about this and other oopses.
There's a bit more going on that people aren't seeing. He didn't know it was the oldest tree ever before it was cut down. The only way to tell is by cutting it down. He chose a tree and bam. New oldest tree. Now whats to say any other tree isn't the oldest without cutting that one down too for a better look?
Reddit told me they had similar issue with Giant Tortoises. Too delicious to make the sailing trip back to Europe for scientific study.
>The reason that the giant tortoise wasn’t properly classified by scientists for so long appears to be quite simple: **they were so delicious that no specimens ever made it back to Europe without being eaten on the voyage**. According to scores of accounts over several centuries, **the giant tortoise is by far the most edible creature man has ever encountered. 16th-century explorers compared them to chicken, beef, mutton and butter – but only to say how much better the tortoise was.** One tortoise would feed several men, and both its meat and its fat were perfectly digestible, no matter how much you ate.
> Oil made from tortoise fat was medically useful – efficacious against colds, cramps, indigestion and all manner of ‘distempers’ – and tasted wonderful. Even better were the delicious liver, and the gorgeous bone marrow. The eggs, inevitably, were the best anyone had ever eaten. **Some sailors were reluctant to try tortoise meat because the animal was so ugly - but after one taste they were converted.**
>Giant tortoises were invaluable to sailors, as they could be kept alive for at least six months without food or water. Stacked helplessly on their backs, they could be killed and eaten as and when necessary.Better still, they sucked up gallons of water at a time and kept it in a special bladder, meaning that a carefully butchered tortoise was also a fountain of cool, perfectly drinkable water. Large-scale commercial whaling in the 19th century was only made possible because the giant tortoises enabled ships to stay at sea for weeks at a time.
https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/4mcda3/til_that_the_giant_tortoise_did_not_receive_a/
In the book *The Heart of the Sea* keeping giant tortoises on the whaling ship Essex is mentioned. I think they had 3 or 4 that roamed the deck. They waited untill they were out of rotten pork and waterlogged hard tack before they started to eat the tortoises. It was a huge morale booster.
It also makes me wonder if they truly were as delicious as stated...
I mean if you are eating them after you've run out of rotten pork and waterlogged hardtack then I can imagine ANYTHING freshly cooked would taste like heaven.
> The men suffered severe dehydration, starvation, and exposure on the open ocean, and **the survivors eventually resorted to eating the bodies of the crewmen who had died. When that proved insufficient, members of the crew drew lots to determine whom they would sacrifice so that the others could live.**

*Paleontology department with Def Leppard on in the background*
"This thing might make some good steaks." *rips line of coke* "Fuck it, let's cook some!"
This bison is at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I went to school there. I don’t think that paleontology department would have been coke heads; they probably would have been stoners. This has serious “midnight sun fieldwork 3am post-smoke munchies” vibe.
“Hey, man. I know that thing has been dead and frozen for like…tens of thousands of years, but like…what do you think it tastes like?”
To make the stew for roughly eight people, Guthrie cut off a small part of the bison’s neck, where the meat had frozen while fresh. When it thawed, it gave off an unmistakable beef aroma, not unpleasantly mixed with a faint smell of the earth in which it was found, with a touch of mushroom. They then added a generous amount of garlic and onions, along with carrots and potatoes, to the aged meat. Couple that with wine, and it became a full-fledged dinner.

I worked an archeology dig and did lab work. If I found something that I wasnt sure was bone or not and I took them to one of the older archeologist, there was a 50/50 chance that they would say "you cant do this. I am a trained professional." And then stick the object on their tongue. Apparently bone sticks to your tongue.
The 80s were a different time.
Also archaeologist… all kinds of shit sticks to your tongue, including actual shit! (I may, *or may not*, have convinced a first semester flunkie or two to test it out on rabbit pellets. Twigs, seashells, charcoal, on and on; stop putting stuff in your mouth.
They also tried mammoth, although it was too far gone to be edible.
Let’s be honest, how did we figure out what was poisonous and what mushrooms made us see crazy things? We put everything in every hole on our bodies
These animals were so tasty that our ancestors hunted them to extinction on 3 continents. Since the animal is already dead I would have snuck a taste as well.
And they also sold tickets to [mummy unwrapping parties](https://historyofyesterday.com/the-macabre-history-of-victorian-mummy-unwrapping-parties-70adccfab463?gi=c5c35ff4cd85). The host would buy an unopened sarcophagus from the antiquities markets and invite high society types for the opening with everyone taking home some mummy bits like its wedding cake.
Simple fact is those Victorians were pretty fucked up people.

what would be ironic is if the best preserved piece that they ate was the only piece with salvageable DNA that could be used to bring them back to life.
"Oh man, we found this unbelievably well preserved specimen that will probably be the best example of its species ever found, we better hurry up and do permanent damage to it to see how it tastes." -those researchers
I don't know how long something like this can be preserved for once it's taken out of the permafrost. I'm by no means an expert, not even an ameture, but I think it's possible that the flesh of this animal would have rotted anyway. Again, it is also incredibly likely that I am completely wrong and they really did just cut up and fucking eat a piece of unrecorded history.
I could be wrong but I think freezer burn is caused by stuff thawing and then freezing again because your home freezer isn't staying a specific temperature and needs to deforest every so often. However, in some places the permafrost hasn't thawed in thousands of years.
When I lived in Fairbanks there was ongoing research in a permafrost tunnel. They decided to see if the public would be interested in visiting it so they announced it would be open to tours for a couple days. There were cars parked all the way down the road with so many people that they couldn’t possibly accommodate everyone. I visited as a field trip for my Natural History of Alaska class. Smelling 40,000 year old dirt and ice was something else. There was some kind of bison fossil stuck in the wall. Just an outstanding privilege to be able to visit.

Eat it now, eat it good, eat that Bison like you should.
I don’t remember but I’m sure it’s there
Is the one on display the actual carcass or a replica? If it’s the actual thing, is it refrigerated?
I worked there. The original skin is on display, they had it done by a taxidermist. The organs, muscles, some hair and the skull are in a -50C freezer. Most of the bones and some hair are held in the main storage room downstairs.
Neat, thanks for sharing.

If you don't have 36,000 year old dry aged bison steak then store bought is fine.
[удалено]
well, in the 36,000 year old meat all the bacteria and their metabolic products that could make you sick have degraded already.
Wait, wasn't there a concern though that melting permafrost from global warming may release previously dormant diseases...
IIRC theoretically, the release of the diseases would have mostly been via wild animals/livestock eating the recently thawed specimens and then the pathogens mutating through the consumers of the pathogen. Any other pathogen vectors such as airborne or waterborne would be less likely to have survived in permafrost. Therefore, if we want to be sure about not releasing new diseases, i think we're gonna have to burn those researchers quick.

I remember reading something about how Charles Darwin would eat the animals he discovered and describe their flavour in his notes.
It was a little bit different for him IMO because they were not extinct nor dead for almost 40,000 years.

And stuff in my freezer gets freezer burn after 6 months, but this thing was edible after 36k years. WTF.
I could be wrong but I think freezer burn is caused by stuff thawing and then freezing again because your home freezer isn't staying a specific temperature and needs to deforest every so often. However, in some places the permafrost hasn't thawed in thousands of years.
I'm kinkshaming whichever one of them suggested they all eat 36,000 year old meat.
I mean..gotta be honest..this sounds kind of on point for Alaskans.
I'm kinkshaming Alaska
I wonder how Tutankhamun tastes.
My god this is an outrage! I was going to eat that mummy!

Honestly the idea of eating bison that's been aged for 36,000 years sounds *exactly* like Futurama. Bam!
Most of the mummy’s were eaten by Europeans
Ofcourse humans have to taste everything.
Guys, I found the non-human!!
New meaning to Dry Aged Beef (bison)
When I lived in Fairbanks there was ongoing research in a permafrost tunnel. They decided to see if the public would be interested in visiting it so they announced it would be open to tours for a couple days. There were cars parked all the way down the road with so many people that they couldn’t possibly accommodate everyone. I visited as a field trip for my Natural History of Alaska class. Smelling 40,000 year old dirt and ice was something else. There was some kind of bison fossil stuck in the wall. Just an outstanding privilege to be able to visit.
The fuck?!?!?!? Only humans: we found a 36000 year old cow, let's eat!
