    https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/archaeology/a61985254/clovis-point-pike-mammoth-hunting/

    Depictions of ancient humans in both scientific and popular culture contexts picture them throwing spears at the thick hides of mammoths.

    A new study from archaeologists at UC Berkeley suggests that Pleistocene hunters likely used planted pikes, topped with sharp Clovis points, to kill megafauna like mammoths, mastodons, and even saber-toothed cats.

    This theory shows how this system would’ve acted like an ancient hollow-point bullet and delivered a more devastating blow compared to a thrown spear.

      That's how I did it when I was growing up.

      Education is extremely important.

            Sure you can. Just edit the first post and it gives you the option to edit the title too.

              First a Holly Mammoth and now a Wolly Mammoth. I’m thinking the Wooly Mammoth went extinct from too much competition…

                I love the idea of a holly mammoth. Riding one would be the ultimate test of manhood for the Pleistocene warrior.

                I was only joking

                    Edited it for you. You should be able to do that yourself, too.

                      Uhm, it’s still incorrect.

                      And may I add unnecessary? The Holly Mammoth thread has taken on a life of it’s own and must be allowed to thrive and survive in this world!

                                          Or we could go Catholic with Holy Mammaw. (Appalachian Catholic, y'know. Vance and all that)
