The Ursinae subfamily originated approximately 4.2 million years ago.[16] The oldest known polar bear fossil is a 130,000 to 110,000-year-old jaw bone, found on Prince Charles Foreland in 2004.[17] Fossils show that between ten to twenty thousand years ago, the polar bear's molar teeth changed significantly from those of the brown bear.[18] Polar bears are thought to have diverged from a population of brown bears that became isolated during a period of glaciation in the Pleistocene[19] or from the eastern part of Siberia, (from Kamchatka and the Kolym Peninsula).[18]
