According to a recent report by the anecdotal website ATI, some of the legendary behemoths that once appeared in Central Asia and Mongolia: giant camels, have recently gained reliable archaeological evidence that the animals did exist for a long time.

But they have also mysteriously and suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth, as have some extremely large animals, such as dinosaurs. And it is the mystery of their disappearance that bioarchaeologists are trying to unravel.

A recent scientific study published in Frontiers in Earth Sciences, jointly by archaeologists from Mongolia, Russia, and the United States, has revealed some of the mysteries of this biologically named Bactrian giant camel (Camelus Knobloch).

The remains of this giant camel were previously found throughout Asia, from the Caspian Sea to Siberia, with the widest distribution and most stories in Central Asia, but one of the findings of this study is that the last home of this giant species before its extinction was the Mongolian steppe.

The study's co-author, John Olson, professor of anthropology at the University of Arizona, said, "The last home of this giant species before its extinction was the Mongolian steppe. Dr. Olson said, "We can say unequivocally that the extinct camelid Camelus Knobloch was present in Mongolia until it went extinct about 27,000 years ago. And one of the reasons for the extinction was climate change."

However, another reason is human hunting. Central Asia, the most important region for human migration from Africa to the Eurasian region, once had a very early presence of Neanderthals and Denisovans. The age of their survival overlapped with that of giant camels. Moreover, some of the fossils of giant camels found this time is dated from 59,000 to 44,000 years ago, and there are traces of human slaughter.

Scholars speculate that camels of this size were not used as a means of transportation, but rather as a major source of fur and meat, and were among the most important animals that were highly used by humans, the first animals that could have been eaten by humans.

Since all large animals on Earth had experienced sudden extinction in a short period, this research on giant camels will go further to show more of the Earth's past to people nowadays.
