Woolly Mammoth Mammuthus Primigenius And A Small Replica Mamut The woolly mammoths (mammuthus primigenius, blumenbach 1799) are of great interest to palaeontologists, evolutionary biologists, ecologists, and even the general public, because they represent one of the most important extinct species of the ice age era. through the study of the fossil record, researchers can reconstruct the life history of.

Mammoths arrived in eurasia from africa around 3 million years ago (ma) and underwent remarkable adaptive evolution through species mammuthus meridionalis and m. trogontherii to m. primigenius (the woolly mammoth), with changes in molar and skull structure adaptive to grazing in the increasingly open habitats of the pleistocene . Scientists have examined isotopes collected from the tusk of a woolly mammoth (mammuthus primigenius) that lived in alaska approximately 17,100 years ago, during the latest ice age, to elucidate its movements and diet; this included its time — likely with a herd — as an infant and juvenile, then as a prime age adult, and then as a declining senior over its approximately 28 year life span.
