It still wouldve been a great special dealing with the end of the ice age and quaternary extinction of megafauna (like megatherium, sabre tooth cats, irish elk, cave bears)...Neolithic humans experimenting with agriculture, Natufian and PPNA cultures in Mesopotamia and Levantine, building Gobekli Tepe, the rise of inequality etc...but still plenty of purist forager-hunters further out from cradle.

1:50 Considering that paleontology was still in its infancy (and even that is being very generous) it's kind of impressive that they recognized this as a new species. If you showed a mastodon skeleton to someone who didn't know any better, they would probably think it was an elephant.

I would love to see how mastodons changed their environments. Did they increase the spacing between trees in boreal forests? Did they push trees over in swamps and end up changing the way water flowed or evaporated, like a less focused beaver? In the same way that there were mammoth-engineered "mammoth steppes", were there mastodon-engineered "mastodon forests"? Paleoecology and paleoethology is just so cool to think about!

My guess is it would probably be at least 10 million subscribers (10 million years ago), as that's around when the modern ice sheets fully formed and covered the entire continent. Though the freezing began in the late Eocene/early Oligocene some 34 to 45 million years ago, there was still plenty of tundra (that might have supported terrestial megafauna) up until the late Miocene.

Mastadons didn't live in places that were as cold as mammoths did but were still fairly cold anyway, at least during winter. For example, in the spruce forests of the eastern United States south of the ice sheets. It should be a given that they'd need at least a moderately long coat of fur to survive just as animals living in boreal forests do today.

I'm 50 years out from my uni degrees. My advanced degrees were not in the sciences, but I took or audited classes in all things paleo whenever I had a chance. Since then, and until the advent of the Internet, I was limited to the books and magazines I could find on the topics. Since Ben Thomas started this channel, I've had another source, and it has turned out to be a really good one. They are quite literally teaching people, as you so correctly observed. I am fortunate to be one of them, as are nearly 600,000 others around the world. What a time we live in!

Mastadons!!! I love them so much! :D One was found (I forget how long ago) about 30 minutes from where I grew up when someone was digging a pond. It was displayed at a museam where we were able to see it. Edit: And fun fact! It's thought that pawpaws (a fruit native throughout the Eastern United States) evolved it's strong smell and taste (as well as large seeds) to be eaten by megafauna like mastadons! Sadly the seeds are too large for our current fauna, but humans have done a good job a keeping pawpaws alive and well
