Answer:

Evolution occurs about 6 million years ago.

Explanation:

The mammoth evolved from the common ancestor because evolution occurs about 6 million years ago. The modern elephants and woolly mammoths share a common ancestor and they are split into two separate species about 6 million years ago due to change in genetics as well as environment that leads to the evolution in the elephants.
