The authors note that though the new bears successfully colonized the Ach Valley for a time, they endured only another 2,000 years before becoming extinct in the region.

What a shame, if the new bears had only been able to hold out another 30,000 years they would have been classified as an endangered species and become PETA's favorite pets.

Proof positive that Global Warming is real, and we're all doomed.

If only Bush would've checked the teeth of cave bears instead of starting illegal wars and giving tax breaks to his oil buddies...

"human influence in the form of hunting and competition for sheltering caves may represent a plausible explanation for the disruption in the cave bear population, creating an opportunity for the infiltration by a neighboring cave bear group."

Global Cave Bear Disruption alert! After 10,000 years humans drove out one species of cave bear.

Within a couple of thousand more year, even a new species which infiltrated the vacated area was an endangered species and should have been protected by the PEPA (Pre-Historic Environmental Protection Act."

This is clear evidence that humans despoil the earth and its creatures for their own comfort. They should have shared those caves with the cave bears.

Who knows what medical or social benefits could have been maintained if we still had those cave bears around today?

"The cave bears, Ursus spelaeus and their cousins Ursus deningeri, were fierce, 20-foot long versions of Grizzly bears with huge teeth and razor sharp claws. Until Neanderthals, and the later Cro-magnons appeared on the scene in Europe and the Mid-east, these giant beasts infested every cave from sea level to altitudes near 10,000 feet." http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/w/x/wxk116/cavebears/

"DNA sequence analysis to reveal aspects of animal population dynamics in the distant past and potentially illuminate the influence of human migrations in animal population changes" ... they didn't! Those sicko ancestors!
