Hannah Moots
Hannah Moots is a researcher at the Centre for Paleogenetics, known for her work on prehistoric animals, particularly her studies on woolly mammoths. Recently, she gained attention for leading a study published in Current Biology that explores the selective hunting practices of prehistoric humans, revealing that they primarily hunted female mammoths. Her research suggests that these hunters may have targeted females due to their predictable movement patterns within matriarchal herds, which made them easier to locate and capture.
