Anthropologists and paleontologists are sure on this matter because Mastodons went extinct only during the Holocen epoch, about 10,000 to 11,000 BP (before present), when modern humans were very much alive, and living in the same areas.
The American mastodon lived from Alaska to Florida and Mexico into the early Holocene, and was probabily hunted by the Paleo-Indians, a people that belonged not only to the Homo sapiens species, but also to the Homo sapiens sapiens subspecies.
What else can I help you with?
How did the Native Americans kill the burning tree mastodon?
The "Burning Tree Mastodon" was discovered in 1989 near Hebron, Ohio, in Licking County, while dredging a golf course pond which also happened to be a pre-historic bog. The mastodon was found missing a rear leg but otherwise fully intact- including stomach bacteria which was suspended by the bog chemistry and was the oldest known living organism at that time. There were stone tool cutting marks on the mastodon bones which remained, but there was no evidence that humans killed the mastodon- only that they butchered part of it. Humans hunted mastodon in Ohio so it is certainly possible humans killed it. It was likely preserved intentionally in the bog but the owners never returned to claim the rest of the meat.
What do scientists study to learn more about early humans?
Scientists study fossils, ancient tools, and DNA to learn more about early humans. By comparing and analyzing these sources of evidence, scientists can piece together information about the behavior, lifestyle, and relationships of our ancestors.
Why are sedimentary rocks useful to scientists'?
Mainly because the fossils of plants and animals preserved in the sediment layers allow dating of events that happened before humans existed.
Who was wool discover and when?
Humans and animals that grow fleece have existed together on earth since long before humans taught themselves to write. The name you want has been lost to history.
Have Scientists discovered if Dinosaurs could have had a Language?
Dinosaurs wer not intelligent like humans are, and therefore had no language. In fact we have no idea what dinosaurs sounded like since they all died off long before humans ever existed on the earth.
Did humans exist before 14000 years ago?
Yes, definitely. Scientists have found certain evidence that modern humans existed more than 200,000 years ago. They say that the earliest hominids evolved around seven million years ago.
How did the American mastodon defend itself from its enemies?
Like the elephant it resembles, American Mastodons used their tusks to defend themselves from enemies. The word Mastodon literally means nipple tooth.
Who was the first discovered the rock?
The first person to discover rocks was not a specific individual, as rocks have existed on Earth long before humans. Geologists and scientists study rocks to learn about the Earth's history and processes.
What do scientists call modern humans?
Homo sapiens
How do scientists tie biblical creation in with the extinction of the dinosaurs?
Most scientists do not believe in Biblical Creation, so there is no reason to tie it with the extinction of dinosaurs. However, Creationists often say that humans originally co-existed alongside dinosaurs until the Great Flood, when dinosaurs all drowned.
Scientists who argue that mordern humans evolved from a single population believe that humans came from the continent of?
Most scientists believe that humans originated in Africa.
What percentage of earth history has humans existed?
Humans have existed for only about 0.2% of Earth's history, which is approximately 200,000 years out of Earth's 4.5 billion-year history. This indicates that humans are a relatively recent addition to the planet.
