BS
It was an extinction event of cataclysmic proportions, there is plenty of evidence supporting this. Scientific hypothesis promotes there was around 10 million mammoths in North America, and there was never a human population large enough to take down 10 million mammoths in short order.

But didn’t the Younger Dryas event result in a huge number of larger land mammals going extinct about 12,000 years ago?

[Red Badger]

This is the theory of what caused it............

Well, you can use garlic until some nice barbeque sauces are developed. Mammoth with A-1 sauce...

Mastadon tastes okay, but you have to be hungry.

It was from that experience that humans likely developed animal husbandry, to insure the supply of meats did not depend on survival of the fitess in the wild.

[Red Badger]

Garlic. Marinate in LOTS OF GARLIC..................

[SunkenCiv]

Whoops, I probably should include the *actual ping lists* for this to work.

[BipolarBob]

It takes a village . . . to eat a whole mastodon.

The guy who wrote that article is probably the decendant of humans who were able to survive and procreate by eating those large animals.

[TonyM]

It was the invention of the BBQ pit!

The hunting theory has been repeatedly academically discounted for years now. There just were not enough humans for one thing.

These guys are just looking for more grant money.

Aliens from space scooped up the mega fauna and made soylent green from them to feed their planet.

[Robert A Cook PE]

No. Today’s academic “cultural biases and prejudices (White Man always wrong and deadly, natives pure and in balance with nature always.) PREVENT modern self-called academia from researching and writing conclusions other than “White Man Deadly. Natives Pure and did not kill large beasts for food.”

i can only imagine how much spoiled/wasted meat there was... meaning, how long will the meat last after a kill?...
