Human impacts on the environment and wildlife in California’s past: Lessons from California archaeology
The long history of human-animal interactions in California prior to European contact is frequently not considered when setting ecological baselines and, by consequence, when planning conservation and management expectations and strategies for native species. This article reviews archaeological pers...
