“Despite popular belief that North American mastodons were hunted to extinction by Ice Age humans, a new Canadian-led study is claiming that the prehistoric beasts simply froze to death.
“To think of scattered populations of Ice Age people with primitive technology driving huge animals to extinction, to me is almost silly,” said Grant Zazula, chief paleontologist for the Yukon Territory and the study’s lead author.
What the research found was that mastodons died out in the Yukon and Alaska long before humans were even on the scene. Not only that, but northern mastodons died out a full 65,000 years before their cousins in warmer climes to the south.”

They can go back 65 million years for the extinction of the dinosaurs. I haven’t read a reasonable explanation of the Alaskan, Siberian, and Canadian Mastodons dieing with buttercups in their mouths about 10,000 years ago!!! I am assuming that Mastodons and Mammoths are big, elephant like and related…

I have saved up a series of Climate posts to re-post and they are all good and should be read. I will be putting this same message in all of them to save time.
