Heintzman\" \/><\/div>Pete attained a bachelor\u2019s degree in biology from the University of Sheffield, UK, building on a childhood fascination with the history of life. This led him to complete a master\u2019s degree in palaeobiology at the University of Bristol, UK, and a PhD in palaeogenetics at Royal Holloway University of London. His doctoral research focused on the analysis of ancient DNA from arctic beetles. Pete is currently a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he has moved onto bigger things: ice-age bison, horses and mammoths. His current research focuses on using molecular techniques to investigate species\u2019 responses to climatic and environmental changes over the past 100,000 years or so.
