Un studiu de reper arată că mamuții lânoși au dispărut după ce oamenii preistorici le-au vânat preponderent femelele

A study reveals that prehistoric humans predominantly hunted female woolly mammoths, which may have contributed to their extinction. Genetic analysis from bones across Europe indicates that 70% of the mammoths hunted were females. This selective hunting could be due to the predictable movement patterns of female-led herds. The research also highlights the hunting strategies employed by nomadic humans, utilizing terrain to their advantage. Woolly mammoths disappeared around 10,000-12,000 years ago, with the last population on Wrangel Island vanishing about 4,000 years ago, showing signs of genetic anomalies.
