Question: When did the last wooly mammoths die out?

context: Most woolly mammoth populations disappeared during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene, alongside most of the Pleistocene megafauna (including the Columbian mammoth). This extinction formed part of the Quaternary extinction event, which began 40,000 years ago and peaked between 14,000 and 11,500 years ago. Scientists are divided over whether hunting or climate change, which led to the shrinkage of its habitat, was the main factor that contributed to the extinction of the woolly mammoth, or whether it was due to a combination of the two. Whatever the cause, large mammals are generally more vulnerable than smaller ones due to their smaller population size and low reproduction rates. Different woolly mammoth populations did not die out simultaneously across their range, but gradually became extinct over time. Most populations disappeared between 14,000 and 10,000 years ago. The last mainland population existed in the Kyttyk Peninsula of Siberia 9,650 years ago. A small population of woolly mammoths survived on St. Paul Island, Alaska, well into the Holocene with the most recently published date of extinction being 5,600 years B.P. The last known population remained on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean until 4,000 years ago, well into the start of human civilization and concurrent with the construction of the Great Pyramid of ancient Egypt.

question: When year did the last woolly mammoths die out?
short_answers: 4,000 years ago

Answer: Most wooly mammoth populations disappeared over a period of several thousand years, but some survived well after, while mainland and island populations became extinct at different times. Most populations disappeared between 14,000 and 10,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene. The last mainland population existed in Siberia 9,650 years ago, while a small population survived on St. Paul Island in Alaska until around 5,600 BP, or years before present. The last known population remained on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean until 4,000 years ago.
