Ancient humans focused on female mammoths

According to recent research, Ice Age hunters in Eurasia and North America preferred to target female woolly mammoths, which accounted for about 70% of the mammoth bones recovered from accumulation sites. Researchers believe this choice was related to herd behavior, as groups were usually led by females, making them easier to hunt. Female mammoths were smaller and simpler to kill compared to the males, which could weigh up to six tons. It is also thought that males tended to live more solitary lives, so hunters primarily targeted females. This strategy was part of hunting techniques that helped humans obtain large quantities of meat and fat, while also utilizing skins, bones, and tusks for making tools and shelters.
