Not like that. There were bands of 20 too 200 hundred humans hunting for a couple of thousand of years. They drove mega fauna over cliffs or killed them in controlled burns. That human existence all over the world coincideds with the extinctin of megas fauna should end the debate.

Not really. Correlation and causation are not the same thing. For instance, a sudden influx of money has caused simultaneous booms in construction of both churches and whorehouses in some areas. Believing one to be the cause of the other is an obvious logical fallacy; an unrelated phenomenon is causing both.

Well, it's nice to have that one settled once and for all.
