Genome-scale comparisons of sampled mammoths, living elephants and mastodon place Mammuthus within a reticulate elephantid history with introgression and incomplete lineage sorting; the sampled genomes do not establish the genus’s full fossil duration or one bifurcating ancestor tree. This navigation entry is not a phylogeny or a complete taxon dossier.

Mammuthus is displayed at 0.14–0.004 Ma only as the dated genomic specimen envelope, not the full fossil duration of Mammuthus. The interval is a source-bounded sample window, not a global FAD, LAD, divergence date, continuous occupancy claim or direct-ancestor assertion.

Known limits
A missing branch or fossil occurrence does not imply biological absence. Internal nodes are not calibrated divergence estimates.
