Woolly mammoth extinction not due to humans

Hmm..now this seems acceptable...2 Before..when i read that mammoths went extinct because of humans...I use to wonder how all mammoths can be hunted by humans....Anyway.... Yeah I thought there would be too many for humans to wipe out. I mean, there were way less people back then than there is now.

GAAAHHH! NO BRAINER! The world warms up. The permafrost melts. The tundra turns to swampy forest....and of course all the catastrophic glacier flooding that the largest and slowest animals couldn't escape. Lapiche

Still doesn't explain how entire mammoth were found frozen in Siberia with food in their mouth and stomach...

Doesn't make sense to me. The Russian stepps are extensive and could have carried on supporting vast herds till today - unless they came into conflict with the other inhabitants - man. Strikes me as another piece of speculation. Br Cornelius

Strikes me as another piece of speculation. Br Cornelius Why are there no vast herds of cows on the tundra, not even those woolly Irish (?) ones? Because they prefer gras, and the tundra is not covered with gras. Maybe the same thing with those mammoths?

I also think that when the "warm up" happened mosquito and other biting insect populations boomed. New viruses evolved or old ones mutated. That helped decimate the population. The dwarf sub-species survived because of their isolation from the insect born diseases. Lapiche

Especially if they only had spears to kill such a large beast. That takes a lot of skills and stabs to accomplish one kill. the best way to kill a mammoth without a gun is to run it off a cliff like native americans did with buffalo before they got guns.

Human hunters probably had a small impact the populations that were already struggling to cope with the climate changes. We could have just been the final nail in the coffin of an already dying species.
