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.
