A Paleontologist Reacts to Ice-Age Animals in the Movies

    Issues with movies depicting ice age animals: 1) wooly mammoth is oversized frequently.I noticed in 10,000BC the mammoths seem to be somewhere in the region of 5m tall or more, whereas in reality they were as big as a asian elaphent. 2)humans are portrayed as being able to frequently hunt mammoths and other huge megafauna frequently, whereas in reality we know that not only is there limited evidence for hunting, but that the wooden spears may have broken on impact due to the sheer size of the animal and fragility of the wood and stone weapons. 3)Terror birds depicted alongside people, this is false, none alive by 1million years. 4)Sabre tooths are often depicted too sleek and cat like, they would have been stocky as fuck, they took down huge megafauna.

    Also humans very regularly hunted mammoths, there are mammoth pits where we dumped their bones that have evidence of hundreds of mammoths, we just usually hunted late adolescents, or teenage mammoths. They existed alongside us when we had access to stone and early metal tools, and things like flint and obsidian arrow/spear tips have been found embedded in mammoth bones.

    There’s more evidence that humans chased mammoths off cliffs versus actually chasing and spearing them. There are gigantic wooly mammoth “death pits” full of bones left behind by the hunters. They’d pick all the meat and skin off and just leave them there (maybe taking some bones for decoration/accessories)

    The apparent flanges on the lower jaws of the saber-toothed creatures in Ice Age strongly suggest the marsupial saber-tooth, Thylacosmilus, rather than the metatherian Smilodon. But considering the liberties the animators took through the whole movie, it would be pretty hard to pin down a particular species in any case.

    not only is the sabetooth in 10.000 BC oversized, the Smilodon lived in the America's only and not in a pseudo Egyptian setting, the sabertooth living in Europe and Asia was the Homotherium, but it's canines were [robabvbly not large enough to impress the audience. There was a hyena species living in the Yukon, but I think it was Chasmaporthetes, the "running hyena", build more wolflike and not Crocuta, the spotted hyena.

    It's difficult to say for certain, but the findings we do have indicate that mammoth hunts weren't a common thing. It was probably a once in a blue moon thing, potentially involving multiple tribal groups coming together, including Paleo-American groups like the Clovis culture. It's possible that it was a major event, as findings in the UK have shown. It's on the coast now, but one of the sites in question used to be a cliff overlooking grassland and the site is loaded with butchered mammoths among other large creatures, so it's likely that they scared them into falling over before finishing them off (assuming they didn't die on impact).

    @doodlemunchkin222211 ай бұрын

    I wonder if the coat colors of wolves were even that diverse that far back in the Ice Age like what Alpha shows. From my knowledge, black coats in wolves didn’t exist until pretty recently as a result from wolves breeding with dogs who carried over that black-coat gene to dogs. Black wolves now, as a result of that, are often more genetically diverse and healthier b/c of it, and also have more tamer personalities and temperaments, whereas grey-coat wolves (which range from white and grey, to brown to red and anything in-between that isn’t black) are more aggressive. So I wonder if Alpha took that into account or not or if I just didn’t know some older species of wolf at the time carried that black coat gene before dogs introduced it to them.

    @@sarahr8311 idk but I know that’s what wolf genealogists say when it comes to Yellowstone wolves. Probably because dogs are so vastly different looking in colors and sizes it’s possible to have them go back and introduce stuff into the pure wolves’ genes. Not everything comes directly from wolves. Otherwise all dogs would still look like wolves today. Black coats were probably eventually bred in or popped up in dogs at some point. There are things that are distinctly related and unique to dogs. So that’s why I’m thinking it didn’t occur super far back in their heritage like seen in the movie.

Plus, I'm a fairly slow reader so if the characters are speaking to each other rapidly, like for instance they're having an argument, I tend to miss at least some of the conversation because I can't read as fast as the text is flowing across the screen.

In my knowledge, some of the oldest still existing dog breeds are salukis from Egypt and Arabia, most likely breeded from African end Eurasian jackals, and pugs, that have been around for about 400-500 years.

    I think it is more likely the first wolves at the root of the dogs were kept for food. Dogs have been eaten al over the world and still today bush animals are kept as pets fed on scraps to grow big ( and fat) enough to become main dish. Probably the most feral of a litter of abandonded wolf pups went into the stew first, will the more docile were kept longer and even manage to breed. Nowadays most wolves have a fear of humans and keep there distance, I think that wolves not fearing humans and came close to human settlement were far too dangerous to become domesticated.

    There are hints that wolf's domesticated themselves, moving closer to human camps to feed of the remains of their hunt. At least for the middle-east there is no direct evidence if and when wolfs/dogs first worked together on hunting.

    The modern day cats are more closely related to eachother than too sabre toothed cats. Interestingly enough the puma would be grouped with the small cats. This means they are more closely related to cheetahs, housecats, ocelots, lynxes etc than too the big cats like lions, tigers and leopards. We don't know what the coat off smilodon looked like. But even the coat looked like one of a modern day cat it is not that abnormal for totally unrelated species to look alike. We call this convergent evolution. This basicly means that you start seeing the same adaptations in unrelated species because the environment and/or there niche are simular. A beautiful example is how counter shading is common in aquatic animals.

    According to Google, he is.

I'm guessing they made him smaller so other creatures could bully him all the time. Poor Sid!

    You're half right. Dogs don't descend from modern populations of grey wolves, but they do descend from grey wolves. The grey wolves that dogs descended from were genetically distinct from modern grey wolves, but not enough to form a separate species. So it is still true to say that dogs are descended from grey wolves. In fact dogs are a subspecies of grey wolf themselves, Canis lupus familiarus.

Also, it is not incorrect to say that the wooly mammoth went extinct in most of the world at the end of the last Ice Age, and this is often colloquially used as the species' extinction date, even among scientists (since the ecosystems they left behind didn't care that there were still a few mammoths on isolated islands in the Arctic)

    10,000 BC is totally inaccurate regarding humans from what I see here. 12,000 yrs ago would've been the border of Upper Paleolithic right about before the Neolithic revolution. We are talking about stone age hunter gatherers. This means No farming, NO civilization, NO pyramids, NO keeping animals (besides an occassional dog-wolf who chooses to be there) NO surplus, NO trade, NO material culture. Hunter gatherers have NO property ownership, No classes/castes, NO slavery, NO inheritance or need for paternity, thus NO control of female sexuality and NO patriarchy. NO role rigidity (if a male is excellent at searching out sweet berries or dense edible plants you want him to doing just that ; if a female is an exceptional shot or tracker you want her hunting). NO chiefs except in the sense that the one or few people who contribute the most are generally seen as leader/s but they have NO power over anyone else. The only power is personal power. We lived in small egalitarian bands of maybe 50 up to maybe 80 ppl. Hunter gatherers wherever they are found both geographically and chronologically are among the most egalitarian societies on earth, an egalitarianism that is almost always includes women and children, which is unheard of in any post-agricultural society, until the very recent advent of modern democracy. Unlike modern democracies, hunter gatherers have no resource inequality/hierarchy/class; the one or few who contribute the most are seen as the chief or council. The chief has responsibility without power over others and early ethnographies of hunter gatherers are full of hilarious anecdotes where older men nominate ec other as chief because nobody wants to be chief
