A new study reveals that ancient Ice Age humans disproportionately targeted female woolly mammoths for hunting! 🦣🏹
Researchers, including scientists from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, analyzed DNA from over 500 mammoth bone collections across North America and Eurasia. 🦴🔬
At sites tied to human activity, 70% of the mammoth remains were female, compared to just 34% at natural death sites like sinkholes or traps. 📉🌾
Experts suggest ancient hunters may have encountered female-led herds more predictably, or chose them because of herd behavior and size differences. 🦣👥
This selective hunting pressure on breeding females offers profound new insights into ancient survival strategies and the ultimate extinction of these megafauna. 🏔️✨
