Another silly theory regarding the demise of mammoths

Palaeontologists have long assumed that massive hunting by humans led to the extinction of woolly mammoths about 12,000 years ago, but new genetic analysis indicates that inbreeding and loss of genetic variability was the real cause.

This theory completely ignores the abrupt nature of their demise (with buttercup flowers in their mouth), that happened at the same time as all the large mammals becoming extinct in North America.

Yes, they may have eventually died out due to inbreeding, but that wasn't the case in this instance.
