"Mammutjægerne" er tredje bind i serien Jordens Børn. Ayla forlader sin dal sammen med Jondalar, den mand hun har elsket og holdt sammen med, siden hun fandt ham hårdt såret efter et overfald af en løve. De møder Mamutoi-folket, Mammutjægerne, og Ayla nærmer sig dem med både frygt og nysgerrighed. Hun bliver optaget af deres musikinstrumenter, af deres levevis og bopladser - og ikke mindst tiltrækkes hun af den mørke, flotte Ranec, der er mester i at skære elfenbensfigurer. Mammutjægerne fascineres af hende, af hendes lægekunst, hendes dygtighed som jæger og hendes evne til at tæmme vilde dyr.
