For millions of years, humans hunted smaller creatures and gathered what they could, all the while being hunted by larger predators. It was only 400 000 years ago that several species of humans began to hunt large game on a regular basis, and only in the last 100 000 years – with the rise of Homo sapiens – that humans jumped to the top of the food chain.

Look at the picture below and think about the skills that these hunters would have to exercise in order to take down this mammoth. What kind of communication would be necessary?
