For over a century, vast mammoth bone deposits in Central Europe have puzzled researchers. New work combines isotopes, ancient DNA and radiocarbon dating to reconstruct mammoth behaviour, and shows Ice Age hunters were organised, skilled and highly knowledgeable: link.europa.eu/rtNRDx 🧪

Mammoth bones reveal secrets of Ice Age hunters

Shortly before the peak of the last Ice Age, herds of woolly mammoths roamed across Central Europe, following seasonal routes through a vast, frigid landscape of grassland and tundra. Across the regio...
