the columbian mammoth is the last of the mammoths to die out about 13kyears ago, very recent, by insular dwarfism in channel islands of CALIFORNIA. fun fact mammoths are more related asian elephants than african bush elephants/forest. ELEPHAS vs loxodon.
I always thought it was suspect that everything big and tasty, and everything dangerous died out due to climate change right at the exact moment that well armed humans arrived, while all the less dangerous and less tasty animals survived the climate change
Australia’s swamp monster diprotodon (very like a hippo) died out coincidentally as modern humans arrived — thousands of years away from when climate change killed mammoths and smilodon when h. sap turned up
How people have been fucking up nature for 10k years lmao.
Save the Wooly Mammoth before it’s too late!

I look forward to the meme translation of your thesis
Amazing! “Ma thèse en 180 secondes” has reach another level.
Didn’t we likely play a significant role in the extinction of megafauna all over the world much sooner than that?
Amazing topic!

I’m not surprised to see that paper
Too bad there won’t be anyone left alive to remember your hard work. But thanks, still.
I’ve unironically still got hope. I think we live in a really cool time.
This is an exciting pitch, and an ominous one too.
I hope you’re an archaeologist and not a paleontologist.
Otherwise we got beef
I’m both.

Seems like an easy subject. Just saying.
I’m more like people looking at people looking at dirt though. Once you go anthropology, it’s hard to go back.
I don’t mean to imply your job with writing your thesis on it is easy, the proof needed would be no easy task.
But it’s hard to flip through a history book and stop on any page, and not find something on the page that’s harmful to nature.
Proving that it’s harmful would be the part that’s hard. Finding the occurrences of harm is easy.
