The researchers emphasise that the pathway to extinction for the woolly mammoth was long and lasting, starting many millennia before the final extinction event.
"And shows that species extinctions are usually the result of complex interactions between threatening processes." "It also refutes a prevalent theory that climate change alone decimated woolly mammoth populations and that the role of humans was limited to hunters delivering the coup de grâce".

"Our analyses strengthens and better resolves the case for human impacts as a driver of population declines and range collapses of megafauna in Eurasia during the late Pleistocene," he said. There is much proof that ancient man used the mammoth for food, for example, there are traces of mammoth found on an ancient knife. "Our finding of long-term persistence in Eurasia independently confirms recently published environmental DNA evidence that shows that woolly mammoths were roaming around Siberia 5,000 years ago," said Associate Professor Jeremey Austin from the University of Adelaide's Australian Centre for Ancient DNA.Īssociate Professor David Nogues-Bravo from the University of Copenhagen was a co-author of the study which is published in the journal Ecology Letters. The study also shows that woolly mammoths are likely to have survived in the Arctic for thousands of years longer than previously thought, existing in small areas of habitat with suitable climatic conditions and low densities of humans. Heres an example found by We Hunted The Mammoth: Im tired of men getting verbally abused by feminists online or in person modern women dont realize how. However, until now it has been difficult to disentangle the exact roles that climate warming and human hunting had on its extinction," said Associate Professor Fordham. "We know that humans exploited woolly mammoths for meat, skins, bones and ivory. Signatures of past changes in the distribution and demography of woolly mammoths identified from fossils and ancient DNA show that people hastened the extinction of woolly mammoths by up to 4,000 years in some regions. "Using computer models, fossils and ancient DNA we have identified the very mechanisms and threats that were integral in the initial decline and later extinction of the woolly mammoth." "Our research shows that humans were a crucial and chronic driver of population declines of woolly mammoths, having an essential role in the timing and location of their extinction," said lead author Associate Professor Damien Fordham from the University of Adelaide's Environment Institute.
(The post has since been deleted, probably by the author himself, but if you click hereyou can see that the comments that most bluntly criticized its vapid illogic garnered mucho downvotes.An international team of scientists led by researchers from the University of Adelaide and University of Copenhagen, has revealed a 20,000-year pathway to extinction for the woolly mammoth. Of course, no one posting in the Men’s Rights subreddit has done any of those things either, but apparently everyone with a penis gets automatic credit for them. My favorite example of this loopy argument comes from a fellow calling himself TheGrendler, who garnered dozens of upvotes in the Men’s Rights subreddit on Reddit for a barely coherent stream-of-consciousness rant suggesting that women are ungrateful wretches because, well, they don’t mine coal, and didn’t invent air conditioning or hunt mammoths. Or that agriculture, pretty much the bedrock of civilization, was almost certainly invented by women.) The “men did everything good that you now take for granted” argument is invariably greeted with “huzzahs” of assent from the assembled dudes whenever it’s set forth on many MRA and MGTOW message boards. With Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy, Brendan Gleeson. Analysis / Bias In review, We Hunted the Mammoth exposes sexism and misogyny, often reporting on Men’s Rights Activists, the Alt-Right, and Christian Conservatives.
(Never mind all the stuff men did TO women as well, denying them education and the right to own property, and so on and so on and so on. In the Heart of the Sea: Directed by Ron Howard. We Hunted the Mammoth is owned by David Futrelle and funded through donations and the sale of branded merchandise. "One of the recurring complaints on Men’s Rights and MGTOW (“Men Going Their Own Way”) websites is that the women of today are insufficiently grateful for all the wonderful things men have done for them over the centuries: men, the argument goes, created civilization while women were sitting on their asses at home, desultorily watching the kids and eating bon bons - or whatever the equivalent of bon bons were in 400 B.C.
In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set.
