But that’s precisely my point!
Why is it specualted that specific Mega Fauna went extinct because of human hunting, but the same did not occur in Africa or Asia at the same time with a greater - perhaps more established human population.
It doesn’t make sense.
As far as a flensing tool - yes, I imagine that a few of the tools broke-off in the hide and bones of the animal.
Finding a handful of spear-points in or near a few dozen carcases is not evidence of mass eradication at the hands of human hunters.
Just silly.
Animals unexposed to humans, the most dominant apex predator in history, do not fear them. Their behavior, as we have seen in historic evidence, doesn't have time to adapt to the new threat before they are wiped out.
I did not say that a few spear points in a few mammoth carcasses was conclusive evidence of their mass eradication at the hands of human hunters.
I said that the mass disappearance of mega-fauna that seems to coincide with the introduction of human populations in Australia, New Guinea, Madagascar, and America (and elsewhere) seems to indicate that human arrival accompanies mass extinction of mega-fauna.
It might all just be coincidence.
In case....after case.... land mass..... after land mass.
Yep, it might just be a coincidence.
