NathanHumans And Mammoths
Humans were indeed living with woolly mammoths. They coexisted during the Upper Palaeolithic period. Humans have just come to Europe from Africa approximately 30,000 to 40,000 years ago. Before homo sapiens, Neanderthals, our human precursor were living alongside mammoths. These Neanderthals have been proven to use bones of these mammoths as various tools by 1823 by William Buckland. William discovered the Red Lady of Paviland skeleton with woolly mammoth bones. What about woolly mammoth art?
Woolly Mammoth Art
Art found to have been from the Ice Age would be in cave paintings, engravings, and sculptures where the woolly mammoth is often included. Mammoths are among the top animals to be featured in ice age art. These have been found in countries like Russia, Spain, France, and Germany.

Building A Fence
Ken Campbell and Nicole Sauve live in Sarnia, Canada and had an incredible discovery take place in the backyard of their home back in 2013. The couple was planning on setting up a fence. When Ken began his work, he discovered something unimaginable while digging post holes. Ken did not look into this that much until Nicole stepped in…
Nicole Had A Feeling
Ken discovered a few bones while doing his digging. He was sure they were just animals bones so he just tossed them aside. It was about a week after this happened when Nicole noticed that the bones he kept aside seemed a little strange. “I said, ‘They’re not animal bones, Ken. Let’s dig some more and see what we can find,’” she admitted…
The Police Chime In
She then spoke to Ken about this, so the couple went to uncover more bones and bone fragments there in their backyard. Since they had an inclination that this was a little out of the ordinary, they informed The Ontario Provincial Police who came to the couple’s backyard immediately. The police soon learned that this was not ordinary crime, something they could have never imagined…
A Forensic Anthropologist’s Opinion
The Ontario Provincial Police were glad to realize that this was not another criminal case. It was, in fact, found that the bones belonged to a victim of foul play. They had the help of a forensic anthropologist Michael Spence, who came to the site. As soon as The Ontario Provincial Police left, Michael Spence took in the work. Spence went on to unearth many more bones other than the ones the couple already did.
