Settlement Mammoth Kuria - Paleolithic site in the Russian Arctic
Mammoth Kuria River Usa - Settlement of modern man about 40'000 years BC
Life in the Arctic Circle in the last glacial and post-glacial period required considerable human adaptive capacity, and there is was doubt well-developed social organization and other factors.
Here archaeologists found the bones of ancient hunters killed animals: deer, wolves, and mammoths, scrapers and other tools. Human remains were found. In 300 kilometers from Kuryi were found in the parking lot older 26'000 - 29'000 years.
