The Early Human Diet
It is neat to note that the Santa Lucia airport site could tell us more about the way mammoths were part of the early human diet. In May 2020, Nava told the Associated Press, “They used to think [the eating of mammoth] was very [dictated by] chance – sporadic. In fact, it may have been part of their daily diet.”
What Else They Found There
Mammoths were not the only thing that they found at the site either. Researchers found the remains of camels and horses as well. The experts said that there are more excavations planned in the future. We are excited to see what else they will learn. Mind you, the airport is still set to open in 2022 as planned.
