    “Humans came across the animal often,” is such a profound statement. It’s hard to realize what others perceived, that which I’m unable to today. But there will always be humans unable to perceive what past humans once could. Same for the reverse. Time is weird.

    Modern elephants seem to have survived the same dangers, including "hungry humans", that palaeoloxodon may have experienced. But they stayed in subtropic and tropic regions of the world. So, North 02, what do you think finally killed off animals like palaeoloxodon whose morphologies resemble modern extant versions of african and asian elephants? Great report by the way!

In a part of the episode, a professor mentioned what animals our ancestors preferred to hunt for food, they mostly would rather hunt smaller deer 🦌, wild cattle 🐃, wild horse 🐎, wild pig 🐗 and anything that was simple to kill for food.

There’s also some alleged remains of very large (more than 15 tonnes) P.antiquus specimens, but they’re debatable atm.

      @@shakuntlarishi8197 we aren't talking about full size asian elephants. dwarf elephants are not slow. plus they have lances growing out of their face. they are smarter than horses and would bond with the rider better than any other mount. paired with a rot and you would almost not have to post a watch.

      You're thinking of the southwestern US, a site in what's now Pasadena. The PPD chased the rock band "Mammoth" off a cliff for rockin' too hard. The band survived and escaped, but had to change their name to Van Halen, to avoid further prosecution. Hope this helps!

    These giants were domesticated in Asia. Read some of the ancient accounts of the war elephants used by some Asian kingdoms. They were described as being too large to match the size of modern day Asian elephants.
