One possibility is that they adapted to their confined surroundings by decreasing their bulk This theory is based on their smaller tooth size, which 10 has led scientists to believe that they were only feet tall at the shoulder compared with 10 feet of their full-sized counterpart But would this be enough to enable them to survive thousands of years beyond that of other mammoths? Researchers are still working to uncover the reasons for this isolated group’s belated disappearance With which topic is this passage mainly concerned?
