Of course they didn't. They existed alongside the many animals and species that we still have today - but they were the keystone species for what a natural north and south american continent looked like. Even the places we look at and think of as wilderness today are the product of that eradication, which is emblematic of the situation we find ourselves in and probably represents our first foray into what got us here to begin with. I can think of all sorts of animals we shouldn't bring back even if we could. Mammoths just aren't one of them. There's a compelling financial and ecological interest..and the ecological interest happens to be about a way to get a hell of alot more trees back where they belong.
