Where's your evidence that infants didn't hunt and butcher mammoths? I need you to write me a dissertation before I believe this claim.

And it has to be peer-reviewed.

Double-blind clinical trial. We can use elephants as a proxy.

Honestly I think my ERB would have a bigger problem with killing elephants for food than putting infants in danger.

Understandable: The human subjects will be protected from trauma by infantile amnesia--but elephants never forget.

If only there was a distinctive feature of mammals by which mothers feed their infants and through which the diet of the mother could be inferred, as noted in the article.

maybe they did save specific foods for infants.

well, there is one food that is primarily consumed by infants. Maybe you meant they saved special food for nursing mothers?

Indeed. Good point

Probably not entire mammoths, though.

Infants usually drink milk no?

At eighteen months? Not exclusively.
