Descubren en #Tultepec, #EstadodeMéxico, contexto inédito de cacería y destazamiento de #mamuts. En los perfiles de lo que sería un relleno sanitario, se registraron dos trampas excavadas hace 15 mil años... Info: http://bit.ly/2JV4Yf6 They also found two human-built pits dug 15,000 years ago to trap mammoth, believed to have been the first find of mammoth traps set by humans.

Researchers from Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History said on Wednesday the pits were found during excavations on land that was to be used as a garbage dump.The institute said hunters may have chased mammoths into the traps. Remains of two other species that disappeared in the Americas — a horse and a camel — were also found.

Some of the remains bore signs that the animals had been hunted, leading experts to conclude that they had found"the world's first mammoth trap", the statement said.

That would seem to imply that humans have been in the Americas for much longer than the long-accepted 15,000 years, wouldn't it?

The heat would have killed them eventually

The ancient vegans would have been livid.

Do they have vegan Mammoth?
