2500 - The Mammoth Goes Extinct

Although extinct, Woolly mammoths were very important to humans and their survival. There is evidence, presented by William Buckland’s published discoveries of the Red Lady of Paviland skeleton in 1823, and others, like Édouard Lartet, who found an engraving of a woolly mammoth on a piece of mammoth ivory in the Abri de la Madeleine cave in Dordogne, France, of their coexistence with humans. The woolly mammoth lived from the Middle Pleistocene until its extinction in the Holocene epoch. It was one of the last in a line of mammoth species. They were used by early humans for food, art, tools, and dwellings.
