How did our ancestors manage to kill such a large animal?
user
There were some factors that favored the use of spears and arrows against wooly mammoths, including that the mammoths weren’t that fast, and their skin was not as thick as that of a woolly rhino.   Another important aspect is that there were some novel weapons that were invented to help kill these animals, such as the atlatl.

I've never heard of an atlatl, it took me a moment of Googling to realize this is an archaic term for "spear throwing". I also heard our ancestors worked in large groups to help take down mammoths.
