Regardless, the Last Glacial Maximum (18-23,000 years ago) drove them all into the southern refuges.
GGG Ping.
wow!
35,000 years in the future they will be digging up all kinds of relics in the country that used to be the USA that depict elephants. They will determine there was a mass extinction in 2008!
Here's the sculpture being interviewed.

It’s a toss-up between a mammoth carving, or something my dog excreted yesterday.
As you allude to the lack of precision in the articles references, I am wondering about the "first modern humans some 85,000 years ago" who were just recently found to be making beads out of shells. Since the big question is yet, "When did modern behaviors such as speech and representational art first emerge and what was the relationship of the various Ice Age advances and retreats to human behavior?" This does represent an important find, however. Thanks for posting!
We went years without mammoth stories—now we get one or two a week. Why? How? I finally figured it out.
You two are doing this deliberately to drive me mad, aren’t you?
Well, it won’t work. I’ve got a new tin-foil outfit, form fitting from head to toe. (I sort of look like John Kerry in that famous pic.)
That can’t be legit. The earth is only 5000 year old....
Rather the big-brained Cro-Magnons than the Neanderthals. In the German press they said that there is a high probability that it were Cro-Magnons.
The Vogelherd-cave is not too far from the place I grew up. We have lots of caves on the Swabian Alb and interesting artefacts can be found inside. I.e. the remains of cave bears (that were remarkably bigger than Kodiak-bears i.e.).

I own the tusks of a cave bear that we found during earthmoving works. :)
