"Between 50,000 and 3,000 years before present (BP) "
WTF is "before present (BP)"?
It must be the politically correct/atheist version of "BC", Before Christ. I guess "AD" is now just "P", for Present.
Or maybe "BP" could stand for "Bowing President", huh?

The problem is that prior there was already constant change in the ‘Climate Footprints’ with ice ages coming and going for at least a million years.
The big mammals survived & thrived these previous changes seemingly with no problem.
But what was the difference between the previous retreats and the last one?
Man.
So methinks this is just another PC study, desperately trying to keep the myth of the Noble Savage going.

"Between 50,000 and 3,000 years before present (BP) 65% of mammal species weighing over 44kg went extinct, together with a lower proportion of small mammals,"...No big mystery- more meat on the big guys than the little guys; our ancestors ate them!
