Not much I can add here. I was going to point out the huge difference between dinosaurs and mammals.

What kind of garbage journalism is this? Never mind the fact that mammoths aren’t dinosaurs, If the mammoth was carved up under 4000 years ago, it’s not very likely to have been done by neanderthals, but modern humans..

Correction, apparently Archaeologists made the discovery while excavating a Roman site; however, it would be nice if the distinction were made or clarification made, as it was in the original article posted at ArtDaily.

Author needs to edit the article. There is a BIG difference between an Archaeologist, who is an anthropologist who studies prehistoric people and their culture, and a Paleontologist, who studies the life of past geological periods as known from fossil remains.

It reads like it was written by a highly conflicted young Earth creationist.

And Neanderthals died out about 25,000 years ago. So the scientists shouldn’t take too long to figure out if Neanderthals hunted or scavenged the mammoth.

I really hope when you wrote writtened it was in an ironic way.

hmmm….lets see: #1) “After tens of thousands of years…..” vs “The species….lived about 3700 years ago”. Quite a time frame difference there. #2) “…unearthing a rare almost complete skeleton” vs “four vertebrae and a pelvis”. I always thought there were more to mammoths than four vertebrae and a pelvis. Did two different people write this article?

3700 years is not tens of thousands of years, mammoths are not dinosaurs, it’s wonderful that this was discovered. But this was poorly writtened.

A Mammoth is/was NOT a dinosaur. Mammoths were relatively recent animals, whereas dinosaurs existed up to 65 million years ago when their extinction took place.

A mammoth is a type of dinosaur? Wow! Maybe this is the same dinosaur that Adam and Eve rode to church on Sundays!
