Mammoths served as critical food source for ancient North Americans
Mammoths served as a critical food source for ancient North American populations, as recent research has revealed through evidence of their hunting and consumption. The findings indicate that early humans relied on mammoths not only for sustenance but also for tools and shelter derived from their remains, highlighting the species' significance in human survival and adaptation during the Ice Age.
Excavations in Colorado uncovered tools and bones suggesting organized mammoth hunts, with evidence of strategic butchery techniques. These discoveries provide a clearer picture of how early humans thrived in challenging environments by utilizing available resources effectively.
