- For millions of years the mammoth, a magnificent animal ruled the northern hemisphere. Thriving on lush ice age grasslands huge herds spread across continents. The mammoth shared a common ancestor with today's common elephants and the two species merged 5 million years ago. But whilst the elephant survived the mammoth did not. What killed the mammoth? nature, man, or something more destructive?

I would accept the theory of disease over human hunting. I never believed that humans were responsible for the extinction of entire mammoth species.
Stupidity oozes from your statement
Mammoths are elephants that constitute the genus Mammuthus, they had diversified since the early Pliocene, there are over twelve known mammoth species, the Cape Mammoth (Mammuthus subplanifrons), the North African Mammoth (Mammuthus africanavus), the Sardinian Mammoth (Mammuthus lamarmorai), the Cretan Dwarf Mammoth (Mammuthus creticus), the Southern Mammoth (Mammuthus meridionalis), the Romanian Mammoth (Mammuthus rumanus), the Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), the Steppe Mammoth (Mammuthus trogontherii), the Jefferson's Mammoth (Mammuthus jeffersonii), the Columbian Mammoth (Mammuthus columbi), the Imperial Mammoth (Mammuthus imperator), and the Channel Island Mammoth (Mammuthus exilis).
Thank you for this
What about yo Momma the mammoth?
It's never actual hunters who believe humans could have hunted then to extinction. Just academics who have never had a callous.
I mean, we are quite certain that most island megafauna got hunted to extinction by humans or introduced predators (which were brought there by humans).
And then there's the fact that no other hypothesis really answers the question in a satisfactory way.
@@miquelescribanoivars5049 That theory is only pausible on captive animals on an island. Otherwise the entire "hunted to extinction" idea is so much a pile of garbage.
@@LuvBorderCollies Yeah sure... Kind of weird then how the extinction of megafauna happened at different points in time in each continent, but they closely followed either the arrival or an important increase of human populations densities. If it were climate or an asteroid, why woolly mammoths became extinct in the mainland much earlier than in secluded islands? Why the megafauna in the Antilles and Caribbean survived thousands of years after the extinction of Central America megafauna? Why would Sahul's became extinct so early compared to that of South East Asia or New Zealand?
So yeah, there's a reason why this is a contentious topic in academia, there is no easy explanaition and likely a lot of factors were at play, but it would be dissingenuous to think Paleolithic humans weren't involved in some way.
Great video
The Lord of the mammoth.
Can’t bc wait for the reextinction of mammoths coming in the next year or 2
It’s almost scary to think that the Mammoth will be brought back to life in the near future.
Only in the metaverse. They lie about bringing back extinct species. They can only create a hybrid version if anything by using a Elephant.
Nobody is bringing mammoths back to life
Yes, it is. There's no room on this Earth for them to survive - it would be torturous for even one.
@@LIZZIE-lizzie lol with that logic there's no room on this earth for you.
Like.
I've always had doubts about man hunting as the cause. We're there really enough human hunters to accomplish that in the Americas?
The southern part of North America dried up but wouldn't the mammoths have migrated to follow the food?
At least these people are still persuing evidence. 👍
Yes there were many tribes and this happened a few thousand years ago. I think humans stopped them from actually getting feeding grounds driving herds to traps. They killed most herds by forcing them off cliffs. Also you’ve to consider the birth rate of a mammoth. It may have been just a little longer than today’s Modern elephants. 2.5 or three years is a long time to produce 1 calf and not to mention it has to make it to adulthood. Throw competition with other fauna natural disasters and global warming into the mix then you’ve got yourself an extinction.
8:51 okay see how it’s saying they were already dead before this eruption hit them? They could’ve died from a human trap (didn’t see evidence of that yet) or, they were fleeing from the the ground shaking from the volcano. Maybe the ground shattered beneath them and they fell to their deaths. That’s a huge grave.
It's likely a combination of the two. Climate change greatly reducing the population and then humans finishing them off. We know humans hunted them frequently and even made huts from their bones.

I was aware of disease being responsible for mass die-offs. The American buffalo hunters and their big bore Sharps rifles would get the blame for the near-extinction of the buffalo (Yeah, I know, but everybody calls it that.). Anyone with a grasp of grade school arithmetic knows better. With an estimated two billion animals, this would require a skirmish line from Florida to Canadian border and the entire output of all the ammo factories for years. The small number of buffalo hunters that supplied the Army, railroad track layers, and others, with meat could not mathematically cause this.
It was the white man, but not the buffalo hunters. White man's cattle contained diseases the buffalo had no immunity to. I am aware of pictures of dead buffalo along railroad right-of-way blamed on people shooting at them from trains. Had anyone bothered to look, few would have had bullet wounds, many would have dropped dead from cattle pathogens. Many of them were out of range.
The overkill theory is beyond stupid and ludicrous! How could small roving groups of humans kill off ALL the varieties of millions of megafauna across continents simultaneously... and then disappear themselves? Hunter gatherers have always been respectful of utilizing every part of their kill, plus hunting is a very calorie negative, energy intensive, and uncertain endeavor. Even obligate carnivores that must hunt to survive fail the majority of the time! The overwhelming geological evidence for a catastrophic celestial impact at the end of the Younger Dryas is as widespread and definitive as can be! Those that say the lack of an impact crater disproves it are dimwits considering much of the land was covered with miles of ice sheet then, and what land was exposed is now deeply submerged. Case in point is the recent lidar discovery of the Hiawatha crater beneath the Greenland ice sheet that may even have occurred in the above timeframe.
Score one for the hairy elephants. They might be brought back by science yet, you know?
Great point about this content on this video. Thank
More believable
.... Ya, sure... Blame it on the dog.
🙄😂😂😂😂
The Mammoth.
🤢The people making out at 1:49 lol
rabies ? how could rabies dogs have formed a problem without forming a problem for their human owners ?
Rabies was actually very rare among dogs/wolves in North America until Europeans introduced domestic dogs.
Definitely something to think about.

1:49 - Why???
What dose this have to do with climate change? Editing mistake.
All the big mammal that survive today are naked, Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos, all the ones that were woolly are extinct, all a Indian had to do was shoot a arrow in its butt lit on fire, catch the wool on fire, and burn the woolly mammoth, or rhino up, and then the only part of a elephant good to eat is the foot, the trunk, and the tongue. Once they were being hunted, they may have become very dangerous, and were wiped out. Since they were burned to death, you would not find spear and arrow evidence very often...
A Hyper Viral disease or Pandemic is best explanation for these wipeout. I say most wipeout are by Diseases, Volcanoes or Asteroids

Nat geo wild.
At 06:33 well look who it is! It's the old neighbor!
Did you know that mammoths (genus Mammuthus) are more advanced than african elephants (genus Loxodonta)?
Interesting, in what way?
Mammoths (genus Mammuthus) are more advanced than African Elephants (genus Loxodonta) as it is largely accepted that Asian Elephants (genus Elephas) are more closely related mammoths than either are to african elephants, in addition to the Straight-Tusked Elephants (genus Palaeoloxodon) being more closely related to both asian elephants and mammoths than to african elephants, while african elephants are more basal compared to straight-tusked elephants, asian elephants, and mammoths, with the only known elephant genus that african elephants are more derived than being the Four-Tusked Elephants (genus Primelephas), which like african elephants lived only in Africa, this makes sense as elephants (family Elephantidae) have originated exclusively from Africa, so have all other proboscideans, hence the name of the superorder that elephants and other proboscideans belong to, which is the superorder Afrotheria, Afrotheria includes the proboscideans and other taxa considered fairly similar to them such as sirenians, hyraxes, aardvarks, elephant shrews (aka sengis), tenrecs, otter shrews, and golden moles.
@@indyreno2933thats crazy bro hahahha
When the mammoth.
All of a sudden a model comes running outta the bush. jk lol.
🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
So the clovis people were physicists with magic atlatls?
Those ancient hunters everyone blames for killing off all the big animals also must have hunted birds and insects species to Extinction as well 🤷
I mean, have you looked at how many island endemic birds have become extinct due to human activity?
The reason why pre-industrial societies didn't cause a widespread extinction of birds and insects (in the mainland) its because this animals occur at much larger population densities, are much harder to detect and are generally much less economic to exploit.
Extinction is common. Doesn't even matter. 👀
Oh yaaaaaay.
Oh the woolly mammoth.
The American Mammoth.

Hmmmm. Climate change. No cars and no factories. Yet we yell about climate change these days as if it’s a new idea. It’s natural!!!
Capitalism.
👍 & No Geoengineering "Chemtrails" 🤍🙋🏼♂️
Whilst climate change as a whole is general, the global warming taken place right now isn’t natural because it’s artificial in nature, the result of CO2 emissions from the last 2 centuries of industrialisation

They've found a few Columbian mammoth fossils in my home state
Ask native Alaskan people they will tell you the mammoth was still around to the eighteen hundreds according to some tribes
Can you share a link for this?
They died in Noah's flood.
Since nonw of these scammers were alive at that time where isxthe evidence? This is simply a hypnotizing Cartoon for the Sheeple
You goofy as hell bro ,scammers? Mental illness and paranoid delusional statements. Uggh Goof goof😂
The earth is 6,000 years old and this scenery looks pretty stupid. Elephants eat about 100 lbs of vegetation a day and mammoths were bigger! There was much more vegetation than this when they existed.
I knew the creationist wackos would show up sooner or later. The earth is BILLIONS of years old. 6000 years is for people who believe that only humans matter and Christians at that..
People will believe anything
I believe ,,,, your goofy . Man these are people/ scientists looking at all evidence and all potential angles.
