Archaeology and Australian Megafauna

Science, 2001
Roberts et al . ([1][1]) suggested an age date of around 46.4 thousand calendar years ago (ka) for extinction of at least six genera of Australian megafauna based on dated articulated remains. Since the exploitation of animals by people inherently involves the disarticulation of faunal remains ...

Interactions with Megafauna

2021
Abstract Megafauna were a prominent feature of the biodiversity of Sahul. They were still diverse when people reached Sahul but had largely disappeared by about 40,000 years ago. Several studies provide evidence that, before their extinction, megafaunal animals were exploited by people, but such evidence is rare.

At the same time, they are among the most threatened ecosystems but remain underrepresented in biodiversity research and conservation efforts. The rate of decline of vertebrate populations is much higher in freshwaters than in terrestrial or marine realms ...

Ackerman (September-October), I question the statement on page 327 that Eske Willerslev's data "constitute a strong case that climate change-not hunting-caused the last great extinction." Others argue that the extinction of the megafauna caused changes in the vegetation, not ...
