TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced five genomes from sub-fossil remains dating from 13,000 to more than 50,000 years ago and found that although they were similar morphologically to the extant grey wolf, dire wolves were a highly divergent lineage that split from living canids around 5.7 million years ago.

TL;DR: Three mtDNA haplotypes from pre-contact Puerto Rico persist among Puerto Ricans and other Caribbean islanders, indicating that present-day populations are reservoirs of pre- contact mtDNA diversity.
