It's unknown when the first woolly mammoth was found. Various ancient peoples have found bones of mammoths throughout history, with a trade in tusks coming out of Siberia likely dating back extremely far, possibly to when humans and mammoths lived alongside in the arctic.

Mammoths were not recognized scientifically as different from elephants until 1796, when Georges Cuvier argued they were a new species of extinct ancient elephant
