The Catastrophic Extinction of North American Mammoths and Mastodonts

The Catastrophic Extinction of North American Mammoths and Mastodonts

“One of the great myths of our politically-correct anthropology is that ‘Native Americans” lived in harmony with all wildlife.

This paper discusses the causes – and consequences to wildlife – of mammoth and mastodont extinctions in North America.
