Different woolly mammoth populations did not die out simultaneously across their range, but gradually became extinct over time. [119] The dynamics of different woolly mammoth populations varied as they experienced very different magnitudes of climatic and human impacts over time, suggesting that extinction causes would have varied by population ...
One group of mammoths, however, survived for another 5,000 years on St. Paul Island, a remote island off the coast of Alaska. As the Earth warmed up after the Ice Age, sea levels rose.
The last reliable dates of the Columbian mammoth date to around 12,500 years ago. [57] Columbian mammoths became extinct as part of the end-Pleistocene extinction event where most large mammals across the Americas became extinct approximately simultaneously at the end of the Late Pleistocene.

The proportion of extinct large mammal species (more than or equal to 10 kg (22 lb)) in each country during the last 132,000 years, only counting extinctions earlier than 1000 years BP. The Late Pleistocene saw the extinction of many mammals weighing more than 40 kilograms (88 lb), including around 80% of mammals over 1 tonne.
About 4,000 years ago, the last of Earth's woolly mammoths died out on a lonely Arctic Ocean island off the coast of Siberia, a melancholy end to one of the world's charismatic Ice Age animals.
Because mammoth DNA is a 99.6 percent match to the DNA of the Asian elephant, Colossal believes that gene editing can eventually create an embryo of a woolly mammoth. The eventual goal is to ...
