（单词翻译）

 The sample didn’t have any visible animal or plant remains1 in it, but researchers found loads of DNA2 anyway. They have already identified such animals as lemmings, bison, and –going way back– woolly mammoths. But if there were no carcasses, how did the DNA get in the soil? That isn’t known, though some scientists speculate that animal dung contains enough stray cells to deposit DNA. That may mean a bison pooped here thousands of years ago, unknowingly dropping its genetic3 signature–just waiting for future biologists to dig it up again.
