Remains of woolly mammoth found in Siberia may change human history

"A recently unearthed carcass of a wooly mammoth found frozen under the ground in Siberia can possibly change human history as we know it now.

A team of researchers recently pulled from frozen sediments at a steep bank on the eastern shore of Siberia's remote Yenisei Bayin—located in the far north of Russia—what seemed to be a regular animal carcass, but was surprised to find signs that the woolly mammoth died in the hands of hunters.

The carcass had a rounded hole through the interior jugal, deep incisions along the ribs, dents in the left scapula and a broken mandible—all indications that it was killed by human beings, and did not die of natural causes.

After the researchers dated the remains, they were surprised that the mammoth died some 45,000 years ago--way beyond earlier estimates that human beings only reached the Arctic about 35,000 years ago.

The study suggests that humans already made it to the most frigid parts of the globe 45,000 years ago, and that they were able to adapt to the harsh conditions in the Arctic to be able to survive."
