Early Humans Linked to Extinction of Woolly Mammoths and Other Species 1.8 Million Years Ago
Jul 25, 2024, 04:43 AM
New research indicates that early humans played a significant role in the extinction of several ancient species, including woolly mammoths and other elephant-like species. According to an AI-assisted analysis of thousands of fossils, human hunting was a key factor in the loss of dozens of these species over the past 2 million years. The study suggests that early humans began wiping out elephant relatives as far back as 1.8 million years ago.
