EDIT: Reading on I see that if stored at cold temperatures it can last a lot longer. Yes, though it seems they need to be stable, constant temperatures too. The Denisovans (human related species, ancestors of some of us) are known entirely from 41,000 year old DNA from a cave in Siberia, and the sequence recovered is basically the full genome - as good as for living humans and a lot better than any found for Neanderthals so far. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denisova_hominin
