the ‘Siberian unicorn'

[inertia]

Perhaps, but if I remember some of the mammoths were found with "food" in their stomachs.

It looks as if we do agree that it was cold in the last glacial maximum when the so-named 'Siberian unicorn' body was found.

I'm not arguing with you...your model is wrong.

Come back when you get it right.

Is this an example of your ability to solve word problems back in junior high.

I'm not arguing with you...your model is wrong.

But obviously you cannot say how it is wrong. Or correct it. Or offer an alternative.

You just "know" it is wrong because you do not like the results.

No, the reason is you haven't presented a model that mimics reality.

Of course it isn't. It's mimicking creationism.

Using values from elephants..."The average annual growth rate was 7.1% (range 2.0–16.9%). This approaches the maximal growth rate for African elephants," ref

Using this simple growth rate calculator....ref....after 170 years

The population with a 7.1 % growth rate is 231,868.

2% would be 58 while 16.9% would be 675,300,223,066

It appears that depending on ecological and social conditions that after 170 years the population of the mammoth could very well have been very large.

Okay... So you took the maximum growth rate for elephants because.... you wanted the number as big as possible. Your reference is for elephants protected from predators, in a region that at the start of the study had very few elephants after severe poaching. Ideal conditions for population growth. The name of the article even starts "Rapid population growth..."!

Using you figure, the original two mammoths, by the time they were twenty the female has had 8 young. In reality she would not reach maturity until she was fourteen, and each pregnancy is two years. Can you see the problem?

Do not forget the woolly mammoths are contending with an ice age!

I did with what I had....you anti-bible people said it was impossible...and you were proven wrong.
