Study shows Clovis people, ancient Americans, mainly ate mammoth and large animals.

Scientists have found direct evidence that ancient Clovis people, living about 13,000 years ago, primarily ate mammoth meat and other large animals.

The study, published in Science Advances, suggests these early Americans were specialized big-game hunters, which may have aided their rapid spread across the Americas and potentially contributed to the extinction of large ice age animals.
