Sabre-Toothed Tiger Was A Pussycat

Time to post the Firestone book which clearly explains the large animal die off around 13,000 years ago. The disaster also killed off the Clovis culture, so Amerindians were NOT responsible for end of mega fauna. I stopped at a small local museum in the mid south. They had a few large very old Clovis style spear and arrow points, but a large number of much smaller points dated around 8,000 years old. Thus it would appear it took a long time for the human population to recover quantity.

Also doesn’t this fit the Catastrophism Ping List?

If there is a newer study/book on this issue, I know I and I suspect others would like to see it. Thanks
