The other question being:

How did it get perma-frosted? That's interesting, in itself.

Did Guam tip over?

Mammoths must have tasted real good because you got a lot of convincing to do to get me to jab it with a sharpened stick.

Out ancestors had huge cojones hunting mammoths.

It was excavated from a permafrost embankment at Yenisei bay, a remote spot in central Siberia where a massive river empties into the Arctic Ocean.

Maybe a mammoth, injured by hunters, escaped into the river and was washed downstream a long way from where the people attacked it.

One has to pay for a subscription to read the original article in Science. I wonder if it shows humans killed the animal or if maybe they stumbled upon it partially thawed a few thousand years later and ate some of it.

It is fascinating how many of these huge creatures seem to have been nearly flash frozen - - as some have said with their stomach contents intact. Strongly suggests a very dramatic incident.

You can’t “change history”, it’s already happened.
