"prehistoric mammoths dying from a single event"...

A hundred thousand hungry neanderthals with rocks and sharp sticks?

It's about time somebody in the science community admits that there have been major cataclysms in the past.

I read once that mastodons found frozen in Siberia were supposedly "flash frozen", with little cellular damage, and the remains of buttercup flowers in their stomachs. Sounds UL'ish to me, but it is true that the meat has been deemed fairly edible and a welcome addition to the prevailing fare at least.

"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...
