A new study, published in Nature  20 October 2021, was led by Professor Eske Willerslev, a Fellow of St John’s College, University of Cambridge, and director of The Lundbeck Foundation GeoGenetics Centre, University of Copenhagen. says that humans did not kill the woolly mammoths.

They say that climate change did the trick.

They also say that mammoths weathered several Ice Ages.

According to evolution, humans and woolly mammoths lived together for 5 million years, but then – climate change happened.

“When the climate got wetter and the ice began to melt it led to the formation of lakes, rivers, and marshes.” says Dr Yucheng Wang.

According to the creation model, woolly mammoths lived during the ice age following the Genesis Flood. We would not be surprised by the discovery of soft tissue and DNA in their fossils.
