Until the scientific mainstream seriously considers the past and potential effects of catastropy, all global models will be incomplete.
If you read the book in Comment #10, you will see that a cataclysmic event probably killed off most of the top predators and their large food animals as well as most of the people in the thriving Clovis culture. Actually, there was a thousand year cooling called the Younger Dryas, and then the warming was reestablished allowing various animals to repopulate, or be hunted as the case might be.
wholeheartedly agree. as an aside, I was kinda surprised at the population level of the musk ox in Greenland.
Wow, every one of them had a Hummer? It’s a wonder they ever left the cave...
