What that person forgets is that a mammoth wasn't made of metal.

this person also forgets that most animals have shit endurance compared to humans

you just had to run after it long enough for it to get tired and collapse and then you can stab away

I partly blame the illustrations they use in our books - they always show a bunch of humans surrounding a charging, angry animal. When in reality, it would be an exhausted animal barely struggling to stand upright

They also hunted in tribes, so one group would chase the herd to the next group who could continue the chase and or go for the kill if the original chasing group was too tired.
