There were not enough people to kill all those animals.

There were Clovis cultures in mine and your parts of the country as well.
I have more than a few points in my collection.

I read, recently, that ancient man might not have hunted large animals as much as had been thought previously. Rather, men might have taken advantage of situations in which large animals were already injured or killed.

After two years of scrutinizing evidence collected at each of the 76 sites, Grayson and Meltzer said they couldn't find anything to support the longstanding theory that Clovis people hunted dozens of types of Pleistocene animals. In fact, they found that only 14 sites had credible evidence of hunting Am I reading this right? I think they are making several points:
Native Americans were too kind-hearted to have caused any animals to become extinct.
Native Americans really didn't hunt very much at all.
Native Americans were virtual vegetarians, supporting themselves through bucolic agricultural settlements.
While the rest of the world hunted and gathered, Native Americans were advanced enough to survive without the hunting.
