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 ...

Horses and Megafauna Extinction
2017The causes of Late Pleistocene megafauna extinctions remain controversial, with major phases coinciding with both human arrival and major climate change. This event revealed slightly different extinction patterns between areas of South America. In this chapter we evaluate a database of paleontological and archaeological sites with horses.

Climate killed off the megafauna
Science, 2015Paleoecology The causes of the Pleistocene extinctions of large numbers of megafaunal species in the Northern Hemisphere remain unclear. A range of evidence points to human hunting, climate change, or a combination of both. Using ancient DNA and detailed paleoclimate data, Cooper et al.
