Climate change and humans killed the woolly mammoth

Oz Research of Note (in progress)

In the largest study of its kind an international group of scientists, including Australians, have unravelled the factors that caused the extinction of iconic Ice Age mammals such as the woolly rhinoceros and woolly mammoth.

The study shows that both climate change and humans were responsible for the mass extinctions of the megafauna 50,000 years ago.
