How Did Prehistoric Humans Kill Animals Much Bigger Than Them?

Twenty thousand years ago, a woolly mammoth outweighed a human by more than forty times — yet ancient hunters brought them down again and again. This video explores the real archaeological evidence behind Ice Age megafauna hunting: healed and re-injured bones, terrain-based kill sites near bogs and ravines, fragile spear points that couldn't have been thrust by hand, and the surprising role of human endurance. Discover how persistence hunting, cooperative drive tactics, and deep landscape knowledge let a physically weaker species consistently defeat the largest land animals of the Ice Age.
