    Just using some tiny mammoth population on an isolated island in Siberia to state “MAMMOTHS WERE STILL ROAMING THE EARTH WHEN BLAH BLAH BLAH” is somewhat disingenuous.

        Roaming the earth means roaming all - or at least a very significant portion of - the earth, not some very isolated region. So I would say yes - if some tiny population of mammoths was still alive in some limited area at this time, they were not ‘roaming the earth’.

      Also pretending that 4000 years ago humans were still hunter gatherers or something (it’s kind of implied in the wording imo). 4000 years ago there were plenty of fairly developed civilisations around.
