DNA from the tooth of a mastodon that roamed up to 130,000 years ago suggests a new evolutionary timeline for elephants and their relatives — and perhaps humans, researchers say.

A new highly detailed study looked at the evolutionary history of the elephant family from mammoths, mastodons, paleoloxodons to surviving species. It was not a "linear" evolution.

The elephant-sized creature, known as Lisowicia bojani after a village in southern Poland where its remains were found, belonged to the same evolutionary branch as mammals.
