On the remote colony of Erebus, that evidence is usually simple: tissue, genetic markers, time, cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen she's handed a specimen that should not exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt belongs to a species that died out millions of years ago. Yet the body is fresh, intact, unmistakably real.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd there's something inside it.
