Megafaunal mammals including the American mastodon (rear center), Jefferson’s ground sloth (front center and right), the flat-headed peccary (front left), and the western camel (rear left) extended their habitat into northern latitudes during the last interglacial period, around 125,000 years ago.

"The new report also suggests that humans could not have been involved in the local extinction of mastodons in the north 75,000 years ago as they had not yet crossed the Bering Isthmus from Asia."

Only until this date for human arrival is corrected.

Sounds like a radical mastodonectomy

I don’t believe any of this, though the mastodon remnants that I have seen suggest so. I always thought they were contemporaneous with Mammoth at least in the later years.

[OftheOhio]

I’ve heard of mastodon teeth recovered in Ohio and Kentucky at depths of 25 feet or greater. That implies they were here.

Most of these idiots suggest hunters killed off all the mega-fauna. Utterly nonsense. It’s incredible the human race barely survived the short face bear alone.

It was those blood thirsty, nasty H. Sapiens that killed them off and poisoned the Earth.

I'm calling bullshit on this one:

Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.

Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy,
Was he?
