"Unraveling the 14,000-Year Journey of a Woolly Mammoth in Alaska"
A 14,000-year-old woolly mammoth tusk named Elma has provided insights into the relationship between early Alaskans and mammoths, as researchers discovered that human settlements in Alaska closely aligned with the movements of this mammoth. Using a new isotope analysis tool, researchers tracked Elma's movements and found that humans set up seasonal hunting camps where mammoths gathered. The study sheds light on the interaction between humans and mammoths, offering a new perspective on prehistoric life and challenging the traditional image of aggressive hunters, depicting a family instead.
