a MAMMOTH discovery is always huge!

I’m always remembering a scene described in the book, Clan of the Cave Bear where the clan is sitting around a fire and helping themselves to portions of a freshly killed and cooked over the fire Mammoth. She made it sound like a steak dinner or a very good roast.

Being a meat eater I get it. Big ol’ roast, ice age outside...

Mammoths were hunted to extinction.

So much for Indians’ harmony with Mother Nature.

There’s a lot to eat there.

Doubt it. See the book.

The main problem with the whole tribe eating mammoth was, not drowning in the giant tub of coleslaw.

Thanks!

Mammoth and/or ‘phant fossils led to the ancient myth of the cyclops. That worked out well for Homer though. :^)

Those dam humans killed off the great mammoths in North America, why today they’d be jailed!!! /sarc

Mammoth....................

[Openurmind]

Yep, been saying it for years. They have made thousands of efforts to claim early man were vegans and ate very little meat. Absolute BS. If it wasn’t for meat the species would have went extinct long ago. Edible plants do not produce in the winter and they did not have canning facilities... The idea is completely ignorant and inept from the get go. Another PETA driven political myth.

This is true, I saw a documentary on this where a guy got caught out at night because he was looking for something and forgot his way back. Anyway, he cut open a mammoth and slept in it all night to keep warm. They found him in the morning and he was pretty much ok.
