Did mammoth hunting drive early American migration?
Original: Did the craving for mammoth kabobs drive early American migration?
Oregon Public Broadcasting is asking whether a craving for mammoth meat helped drive the first human migration into the Americas. The question points to the long-standing debate over when and why early peoples crossed into North America, with some researchers suggesting hunting large Ice Age animals such as mammoths may have pulled hunter-gatherer groups eastward.
Why now: unclear
