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.
Kumbay-F’ing-Ya.
Those dam humans killed off the great mammoths in North America, why today they’d be jailed!!! /sarc
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.
Makes sense. If anyone had the right key, it was the Clavis people.
“isotopic analysis”
I missed finding out exactly what the definition of that was in my science class in grade school.
The study highlights how hunting large animals supported the Clovis people’s mobility and rapid spread, while also contributing to the extinction of Ice Age megafauna...

No. The event in 10900 BC wiped out the megafauna worldwide over night, and incidentally wiped out the Clovis people, to boot.

He told The Siberian Times, “I believe that this mammoth is related to the period of the heyday of the species, which was supposed to be in the Karginsky interglacial time (between 50,000 and 22,000 years ago). Our theory is that in this period the mammoths significantly rose in numbers – and this led to the biggest diversity of their forms. So we want to check this theory.”
There has been some theory that the “junk dna” allowed the mammoth to change in size several times during history.
The Wrangle Island mammoths seem to be the last survivors and died out only 4000YA. Icing events that covered their feed are being blamed (weather event).
Mammoths were all over North America in the days of the Clovis people—not just at Mammoth Cave.
40% of a Clovis mother’s diet came from mammoths.
No wonder they were all big boned some DMA at work?
