"A hundred thousand hungry neanderthals with rocks and sharp sticks?"

How about a hundred hungry neanderthals with rocks and sharp sticks over a thousand years? Im not a proponent of the human caused extinction theories but we do have a site up here that shows how effective early humans were at hunting. At this site it appears that the paleo-indians made a habit of chasing herds into the same bog and butchering whatever got stuck and they apparently did it for quite a while...

I guess that wouldnt be an example of a "single" event but unless all the specimens at a given site were tested then, were I the investigator at a site, I wouldnt jump to the conclusion that all of them were from a single event. Ive read too many stories about some theory being dumped on its head, because the "truth" everyone clung to was based on some past scientist making an assumption, to accept most science as absolute fact.
