The mastodon which lived in this area was about the same size as a modern elephant, but with longer tusks.

The AB lineage diverged from the Ancestral Native American (ANA) lineage about 20,000 years ago. The ANA lineage was estimated as having been formed between 20,000 and 25,000 years ago by a mixture of Proto-Mongoloid and Ancient North Eurasian lineages, consistent with the model of the peopling of the Americas via Beringia during the Last Glacial Maximum. The Ancient Beringian lineage is extinct, and
