The Late Pleistocene of the Mojave Desert, the Peopling of the Americas, and Terminal Pleistocene Extinctions

“As discussed in the paper below, recent discoveries indicate that humans arrived in North America thousands of years earlier than previously thought.

 

If so, this earlier dating of the beginning of human hunting of American wildlife would explain the human role in the catastrophic loss of wildlife known as the “Late Pleistocene Extinctions” in much less controversial ways, strengthening the argument that early Native Americans played a primary role in the largest extinction event since that of the dinosaurs 60-million years ago.
