Mammoths in Alaska

Both mammoths and horses may have lived in the interior of Alaska between about 11,000 and 7,000 years ago. This is significantly more recent than the youngest fossil remains of horses and mammoths, dated between 15,000 and 13,000 years ago.

Imagine mammoths roaming the earth as early as 5000 BCE.

This discovery is due to Mitochondrial DNA Samples.
