Humans were final cause of woolly mammoth extinction

telegraph.co.uk — Woolly mammoths first appeared in Eurasia around 300,000 years ago. They died out around 5,000 years ago, long after the end of the last Ice Age. Humans would have only had to kill one mammoth each every three years to push the species to extinction according to estimates. Apr 1, 2008 View in Crawl 4
