New carbon dates link climatic change with human colonization and Pleistocene extinctions
@article{Guthrie2006NewCD, title={New carbon dates link climatic change with human colonization and Pleistocene extinctions}, author={R. Guthrie}, journal={Nature}, year={2006}, volume={441}, pages={207-209} }
Drastic ecological restructuring, species redistribution and extinctions mark the Pleistocene–Holocene transition, but an insufficiency of numbers of well-dated large mammal fossils from this transition have impeded progress in understanding the various causative links. Here I add many new radiocarbon dates to those already published on late Pleistocene fossils from Alaska and the Yukon Territory (AK–YT) and show previously unrecognized patterns. Species that survived the Pleistocene, for… CONTINUE READING
