Mammoth remains have been found in Europe for centuries, viewed as the biblical Behemoth

It wasn't until 1796 that a French biologist Georges Cuvier, identified it as its own species, independent of elephants.

In 1799 German naturalist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach named it Elephas primigenius.

In 1828, the British naturalist Joshua Brookes used the name Mammuthus borealis for the sale of his fossils, thus creating the modern scientific name.
