***From about 4 skull fragments and a handful of teeth.***

Kind of like the Piltdown man who turned out to be a fake and the Peking Man for which no bones except skulls are found. The body bones disappeared in WWII.

Murder hornets, now Hell pigs?

Clearly, the result of the global climate crisis.

[Does so]

Was this also the event that reduced the human population to 3000 individuals?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Yep.

You can gather a few facts and make some pretty good guesses on what they have but you can not reach the conclusions they did.

It is like a few years back they found some prints and decided what made them was a "ferocious predictor" and a couple of decades later they decided it was a "timid vegetarian" instead.

There was no way to come to either conclusion based on what evidence they had.

I am not knocking science or even paleontology.

I am just knocking people who are writing fiction and calling it science.

After the 100 year long comet strikes of 10,900 BC and the resulting firestorms that burned off 4% of Earth’s vegetation, the oxygen level fell below what those large beasts needed to live. The strikes also ushered in the Younger Dryas Event, the coldest period in recent geological history,

Are you saying that decreased oxygen and increased carbon in the atmosphere caused an ice age?

CLIMATE DENIER!

[PIF]

Proudly! Deny!

[dfwgator]

Well if donuts were considered meat, that is.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I think that was Toba.

[Manic_Episode]

I want one for a pet to ride into battle

[Redcitizen]

Imagine one of those in a rodeo. 8 second ride and if you fall off you get eaten.

Or a warg eats the cow you’re trying to rope.
