Comment on To kill mammoths in the Ice Age, people used planted pikes, not throwing spears, researchers say

We know they hearded them off cliffs in many parts of the world, probably egged on by throwing spears and jabs.
It seems pretty unlikely they’d have regularly risked death by planting a spear and waiting for a charge. It’s not like a multiple ton animal is going to be stopped by the spear.

Also it’s unlikely people across the world all used the same hunting method.
