It must be true; the researcher saw it on The Flintstones.
Specifically, it was white males that did it.
Thank you, humans.
Here is the key takeaway:
“While there are invariably going to be animals lost after a great climate change such as the ending of an ice age, the loss of megafauna that followed the most recent glacial event is an anomaly when compared to the ending of other ice ages.”
There is one difference. Homo Sapiens. They weren’t around at the end of any earlier ice ages than the last one, commonly called the Wurm or Wisconsin Glaciation.
So all of that megafauna existed in the Americas until those Asian interlopers arrived?
My God! Was this jackass paid to do this study with tax payers’ money?
I doubt this. Population levels and population density levels of ice age hunter gather people were never high enough at the time to cause a mass extinction world wide, nor did they have adequate weapons to do so.
Consider the case of the Plains Indians and the Buffalo herds. The herds grew to huge proportions but the Indians never had populations high enough to put a dent in the population.
We have a country of 300 million people , many of whom hunt and we have a hard time keeping the deer population down
Whenever I read the word “study” in a article, I become skeptical. Most of these studies are worth nothing, and are just done in order to obtain more grant money.
There were not enough humans over the past 100000 years to affect anything on the Earth.
The same is true today.
One thing these a$$hole$ don’t get. Humans are as much a part of the ecosystem as cockroaches. Humans are not unnatural. We are part of the Earth.
Why is it that these people are ashamed of being human?
It must be true; the researcher saw it on The Flintstones.
I see megafauna every time I go to walmart.
I say the only good megafauna is a dead megafauna.
Desperate attempt to minimize climate change that happened before SUVs. Fail.
When I was studying Quaternary Geology, this was the fashionable theory, based primarily on human migration patterns as they were known at the time and the disappearance of large species. It’s a difficult case to make.
Why was the extinction so universal? It happened in places where humans did not live.
And the cave man species Georgius Bushmalion.
This study is ABSOLUTE PROOF of one thing- If you are willing to spout liberal dumb-assery you can get government grants.
