    Didn’t we likely play a significant role in the extinction of megafauna all over the world much sooner than that?

    Amazing topic!

    I always thought it was suspect that everything big and tasty, and everything dangerous died out due to climate change right at the exact moment that well armed humans arrived, while all the less dangerous and less tasty animals survived the climate change

    Australia's swamp monster diprotodon (very like a hippo) died out coincidentally as modern humans arrived — thousands of years away from when climate change killed mammoths and smilodon when h. sap turned up

    I'm not surprised to see that paper

    Seems like an easy subject. Just saying.

    I don't mean to imply your job with writing your thesis on it is easy, the proof needed would be no easy task.

    But it's hard to flip through a history book and stop on any page, and not find something on the page that's harmful to nature.

    Proving that it's harmful would be the part that's hard. Finding the occurrences of harm is easy.
