New research suggests that the Clovis people, who migrated to North America around 13,000 years ago, heavily relied on mammoths for food and clothing, which may have contributed to the mammoths' extinction. The study, using isotopic analysis, found that mammoth meat constituted a significant portion of the Clovis diet, challenging previous assumptions of a more diverse diet. The findings also highlight the importance of consulting Indigenous communities in archaeological research, as demonstrated by the researchers' collaboration with tribes in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho.

Scientists have discovered direct evidence that ancient Clovis people in North America relied heavily on mammoths and other large animals for food, as revealed by stable isotope analysis of remains from a 13,000-year-old burial site in Montana. The study, published in Science Advances, shows that about 40% of the diet of a Clovis child's mother came from mammoths, with other large animals like elk and bison comprising the rest. This research provides insights into the rapid spread of humans across the Americas and the extinction of large ice age mammals.

Archaeological sites across the Americas have provided evidence of human occupation dating back thousands of years, challenging the Clovis First theory. From the Clovis site in New Mexico to Swan Point in Alaska, these sites have yielded artifacts such as stone tools, spearpoints, and animal bones, shedding light on the early history of human presence in the Americas. Other notable sites include Cooper's Ferry in Idaho, Paisley Caves in Oregon, and Page-Ladson in Florida. However, some sites, like Pedra Furada in Brazil, remain controversial due to conflicting interpretations of the evidence.
