You absolute revisionist nutbar!

How fucking stoopid do YOU have to be to say THAT???

Now the hotly debated question about why mammoths went extinct has been
answered - geneticists analysed ancient environmental DNA and proved it
was because when the icebergs melted, it became far too wet for the
giant animals to survive because their food source – vegetation – was
practically wiped out.

The 10-year research project, published in Nature today (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.

The team used DNA shotgun sequencing to analyse environmental plant and
animal remains – including urine, faeces and skin cells – taken from
soil samples painstakingly collected over a period of 20 years from
sites in the Arctic where mammoth remains were found. The advanced new
technology means scientists no longer have to rely on DNA samples from
bones or teeth to gather enough genetic material to recreate a profile
of ancient DNA. The same technique has been used during the pandemic to
test the sewage of human populations to detect, track and analyse Covid-19.

Professor Willerslev said: “Scientists have argued for 100 years about
why mammoths went extinct. Humans have been blamed because the animals
had survived for millions of years without climate change killing them
off before, but when they lived alongside humans they didn’t last long
and we were accused of hunting them to death.

“Precipitation caused the demise of the hairy beasts because their food
source was practically wiped out”
“We have finally been able to prove was that it was not just the climate
changing that was the problem, but the speed of it that was the final
nail in the coffin – they were not able to adapt quickly enough when the
landscape dramatically transformed and their food became scarce.
