Genetic science and a deceased sea mammal Montana Man Holds America's Oldest DNA

This post is dedicating to everyone grieving the captivity and recent death of Tokatai, the orca matriarch who lived most of her life in SeaWorld in FL and died unexpectedly before she could be brought back to the Puget Sound in hopes that she would have a chance to hear the calls of her pod before she died.

Yes, of COURSE it's weird to dedicate a post about how DNA testing suggests ancient migration patterns to a deceased sea mammal. RantWoman understands that some members of native communities are upset that Tokatai's body is destined for science and not for immediate culturally appropriate burial.

RantWoman hopes this post suggests openings to find connections lots of different ways.
