It has long been debated as to how our ancient ancestors were able to kill mammoths. In Poland, a discovery has been made that should throw more light how prehistoric hunters killed these giants, approximately 25,000 years ago. They have found a javelin in the rib bone of a mammoth and this may demonstrate that humans played a bigger part in the mammoths’ extinction than once believed.
