Program Overview

|
Some scientists believe that mammoths became extinct 10,000 years ago, because
they could not adapt to the drastic environmental changes that occurred when
the last Ice Age ended. Others believe that mammoths may have been driven to
extinction at the hand of human hunters. Although there is evidence to support
both of these arguments, newly discovered remains of mammoths indicate that
mammoths were still living as recently as 3,500 years ago on a remote island of
the Siberian Arctic.
