Thanks Martin. Most scholars now agree that huntersmore than climate change or a mystery epidemicare what doomed the mammoths.
I'd quibble with that and say that there are no scholars who agree with that, just a few loudmouthed demagogues.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks. Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

Prince Philip is famous for his statement that, if there is reincarnation, he hopes to come back as the deadly virus so it can exterminate the human race and save the planet Perhaps he should go tell Bono to call off the finding-a-cure-for-AIDS thing.

>>>Ever since Congress passed the Wilderness Act in 1964, defining wilderness has not been easy. What often looks wild or "pristine" has probably been altered by humans over centuries. And in recent years scientists have tried to coax nature back to some concept of an original state by bringing back long-gone species, such as wolves, the American elm, or prairie plants.<<<
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1576897/posts Executive Order 13112 - Invasive Species Advisory Committee
Excerpt:
What is the White List?
The White List (or "clean list") is proposed policy which will extend government and corporate control over the possession, importation and movement of anything that is alive - plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms, everything. Under current law, the government controls or prohibits a limited list of pest species - agricultural weeds, insect pests, dangerous pathogens, etc. Only species known to cause problems are controlled. Under the White List, the government will draw up a limited list of species it deems "safe", which will continue to be legal to possess, move or import. All other species, an estimated 99.75% of the Earth's biota will be considered "guilty until proven innocent", presumed harmful or dangerous, and will be prohibited.
Once in place, only the limited "white list" of government-approved species will be permitted - all other species will be considered contraband, with penalties for possession and mandated extermination. To add a species to the White List, expensive "safety testing" and "risk assessment" will be required for approval.

Perhaps they intend to set these things free:
Political buzz word alert, rewilding...
Next step: shoot them.
