New video! How many mammoths were trapped on Wrangel island (shickongly few)? How much did their population grow (a lot)?
What caused their extinction??? Myself and geneticist @MariDehasque discuss her latest research into the last of the ice age giants.
@GrecoPhilistine I think in this particular moment he was referring to Scandinavia only. He did mention admixture in Eastern Europe but I cut it. Not sure exactly why I did that. I think I was trying not to get too bogged down in explaining the genetics of every region of Europe.
@GrecoPhilistine No problem, thank you for taking the time to watch the video and point out where I went wrong. I’ll look into this because I will admit, “the context” part of the video I wasn’t 100% happy with. My mentioning of Sardinia in text only was a poor way to insert the nuance.
@GrecoPhilistine The scope of the video. I am aware of the admixing in Eastern Europe. So I could’ve got the presentation of this one wrong.
Let me take a look and I’ll make a correction.
@GrecoPhilistine Hi there, not sure if I did hide your comments but I will admit it’s possible. I’ll look into this and consider making a correction. I think the problem may stem from the fact that I had originally thought to call the video Britain’s Prehistoric plague and then decided to change

@jtlewis_arch I picked archaeology with JT, because 1 seems to be a reference to pseudo archaeology and it’s a shame to let your opponents define you even in a small way.
@KayleighHistory Well I won’t make any judgement on the quality of the peers but peer review is just the start of a debate not the end. Many things are peer reviewed and don’t ultimately turn out to be true
