Climate change, not human population growth, correlates with Late Quaternary megafauna declines in North America
There are a number of competing explanations for the late Pleistocene extinction of many North American megafauna species. Here, the authors apply a Bayesian regression approach that finds greater concordance between megafaunal declines and climate change than with human population growth.
