The comments are interesting

None of the megafauna that existed there 26,000 years ago could have been supported in such vast numbers with the Arctic tundra for food. The location would have required a temperate zone climate, along with the requisite seasons. Siberia must have been in temperate latitude then, as ice still covered northern North America.

So the climate was WARMER than now sometime in the last 26,000 years. Our current temperatures are not unusual, and man's CO2 is not the main factor in climate change. Climates vary naturally and we are in a warming phase.

not[h]ing in this article indicated they lived there. it could be a good hunting place where hunters traveled to kill and butcher mammoths and then return where they came from with their bounty. it could be a like a seasonal hunting spot or a place to go when hunting in your home region is not so good. who were the people? there's no graves? just tools? hm.
