As a species, polar bears have survived an enormous amount of climate change

Before 2007, it was thought that polar bears evolved from the brown bear fairly recently in the planet's history. But three years ago, a DNA study of polar bear fossils showed that the polar bear originated nearly 130,000 years ago. That means the species survived the last interglacial period of global warming.
