Ancient humans mainly hunted female mammoths
Recent research indicates that prehistoric populations favored hunting female mammoths, as they accounted for about 70% of the animal bones found at accumulation sites, compared to 34% in natural environments. This preference is thought to be due to female mammoths being smaller and easier to hunt. Additionally, female groups may have moved more predictably, making them easier for hunters to track and target. Hunters perhaps also used terrain features to herd herds into traps or weak spots such as slopes, relying on stone tools and spears. It is noted that mammoths went extinct roughly 10,000 to 12,000 years ago in North America and Eurasia, with the last group surviving on Ranga Island until about 4,000 years ago. There is ongoing debate regarding the role humans played in their extinction.
