Khorne flakes? Is that what Steve Buscemi was "processed" to in Fargo?

The cause of the extinction of megafauna in NA is actually quite debated, and while humans likely played a part it's also likely that changing climates played a major part in their extinction as well. I may or may not have just had an Archaeology exam recently. This definitely does apply to bison though.

Humans just finished the job tbh, that's what the Nature article I linked implies iirc.

I don't think it's necessarily because of humans that the woolly mammoths died out after the ice age either

"non-Afroeurasian" - so American and Autralian? (Or Ameritralian? Australican?)
