Mammoths Doomed by Hunting, Climate: Study (Michael Reilly, 8/03/09, Discovery News)

It's the question at the heart of an age-old murder mystery: Who or what killed off the mammoths?

A new study has found that overhunting by our ancestors, coupled with a sharp cooling event around 12,900 years ago, may have led to the mammoth's demise.

Or, as our ancestors used to say: Mammoth, it's what's for dinner.
