Giant sloths must have been easy pickin’s for hunters. Big, lots of meat, can’t run fast, and spent most of the day sleeping in trees. No surprise that they went extinct.

Seems I recall a giant sloth hide being found by boy scouts near Las Cruces in a cave. It also seems like scientist didn’t think the sloth had been dead more than hundreds of years, not thousands. I don’t know how that story might effect this one.

I don't understand why some of the pre-Clovis people couldn't have come from Europe. If the Phoenicians went as far as England in search of tin, couldn't seafaring people from the British Isles and/or Scandinavia have ventured westward to North America? It seems to be it would be a lot easier to get to Ohio from the east coast than the west, especially if glaciers covered much of what we now know as the Rocky Mountains.
Fascinating stuff!

Seriously scary animal. "Let's go poke it with sharpened sticks". I'd have to be pretty hungry to hunt one of those with a sharpened stick.

Sloth responds best to slow cooking.
