Scientists learned why the mammoths died out

Scientists believe that mammoths and mastodons disappeared from the face of the Earth to the cold climate.

It occurred about 13 thousand years ago. At the same time had disappeared many megafauna. According to researchers, this phenomenon occurred due to the fall on our planet a comet or an asteroid. This resulted in climate change.

Such conclusions were made by the geologist James Kennett of the University of California. It was discovered during excavations balls of molten glass. According to the scientist, they are certainly of cosmic origin. These molten fragments could be formed during the fall of cosmic bodies on the planet.

Were also found other evidence of the impact of the cosmic body. Simultaneously at the site were found the remains of flora and fauna. This proves that the drop of the comet and the extinction of mammoths and mastodons have coincided in time. That is why scientists have started to link these phenomena.

The final decision was that most likely a comet, and led to devastating Yavlena and death of the living.
