How do you think they got the mammoth to run into the trap of spears?
Also, in case it turned towards you, you’d want a spear in your hands to make him turn.
Edit: judging by the picture in the post, if you couldn’t run away, you might jam the back end into the ground beside/behind yourself and hold up the point so at least he’d be wounded when he squashed you
Fuckin bullshit. I’ve seen the cave paintings - they were throwing those fuckers

You’re all wrong. It was a, “Mr. Mastodon, you dropped your spears!” situation.
As far as I know, the Clovis people did not make cave paintings and the people who did make cave paintings didn’t hunt mammoths.
Reallllyyy. That’s pretty interesting.
