From Manny Rodriguez:

Re: Causes of mammoth extinction resonate in modern realities, scientists say (June 13): I do not agree that humans hunting the mammoths could have caused their extinction, if humans relied so heavy on these mammoths for survival why wouldn’t they have domesticated them or farmed them as has been done with elephants? An animal like the Wooly Mammoth would have been to important and valuable an animal for humans just to kill them off. I believe climate or perhaps another natural predator could be the culprit.
