I hope the elephant was distributed equally among the tribe members. Anything else would be unfair and might hurt the feelings of those fat kids who refused to go on the hunt because they wanted to stay warm by the fire.

So those huge ribs on The Flintstones were no comic exaggeration.

Ground-breaking study right there! Coming up next! Indians and early American settlers lived in groups big enough to eat large buffalo. Alaskans lived in big enough groups to use every single part of a whale, including the bones. Mid-west settlers lived in big enough groups to grow and consume bushels of corn.
We need new headline writers!

Probably took a good sized group to hunt them effectively.

Maybe it was just one Neanderthal who was really, really hungry. Or was it a contest like the Nathan’s Famous Hotdog eating contest, only with elephants?

“Neanderthals could form much larger social groups than previously thought...”
Or perhaps this was just the location of a McAnderthals franchise that supplied many tribes with mammoth burgers

Groups like that on were the hunters who supplied the ‘groceries’ to still larger groups that lived in their ice cities on the glaciers. Unfortunately, the ice melted and we are left with many puzzles.
