The fossilised remains of at least four mature male mammoths (Mammuthus
primigenius) were found in a peat bog near the town of Padul in the Granada
Basin, they said.

Carbon-dating estimates the animals lived between 35,000 and 25,700 years ago.
"These woolly mammoths finds do not belong to stray animals who only chanced to
head south, but belonged to Granada's permanent inhabitants at this time," said
Diego Alvarez-Lao of the University of Oviedo, Spain.

The finds are backed by evidence from drill cores, indicating that steppe plants
once flourished in Spain.

The team believe the woolly giants pushed south at the same time as similar
advances into eastern China, northern Japan and Kamchatka, a migration
associated with climate change in the northeast Atlantic and northwest Pacific.

Did early Hs somehow bypass Spain, due to Hn presence?
