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.

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.

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!
