According to a recent study, scientists have achieved the remarkable feat of reviving minute creatures known as nematodes, which had been in a deep slumber for an astonishing 46,000 years.

These microscopic animals were successfully reanimated after being discovered in the permafrost, the frozen soil bordering Siberia’s northern Kolyma River.

Radiocarbon analysis confirmed that they belonged to a previously unknown, functionally extinct species called Panagrolaimus kolymaensis, which existed during a prehistoric era when Neanderthals and dire wolves roamed the Earth.

The discovery holds significant importance for understanding evolutionary processes, Vice News reported.
