I wonder if this will work. After reading in a book about (IIRC) neanderthals that mammoths probably survived to just a few thousand years BP on isolated arctic islands (i.e., missing historical time by a whisker) I had something of a feeling of collectively missing the boat.

Have you come across Stephen Baxter's Mammoth trilogy, in which the premise is that a small population of mammoths survived until the present day on a remote island north of Siberia? (The second book goes back into prehistory, and has mammoths interacting with Neanderthals and our own ancestors.)

Aware of it but haven't read it...
