Space/Science » in reply to CCNet -- Late Quaternary Mass Extinction Was OUR Fault!

"His conclusion was that the major extinctions in North America occured between 800 and 1,600 years after humans turned up around 13,000 years ago.

The destruction took place on a timescale that was, in geological terms instantaneous, but nevertheless slow enough in terms of human generations for those who unleashed it to be unaware of what they were doing.

Another indictment for Homo sapiens, but material at least for a mitigation plea."
