Abstract The overkill hypothesis has been criticized using a simple observation–with the exception of New Zealand, there is little evidence for human hunting of extinct Quaternary faunas. We explore the legitimacy of this argument, or what we call the “Associational Critique,” the idea that the paucity of evidence for the subsistence exploitation of extinct taxa weakens or falsifies overkill. Using quantitative and probabilistic models, based on the temporal depth of extinction events, human…

Obstinate Overkill in Tasmania? The closest gaps do not probabilistically support human involvement in megafaunal extinctions

Population reconstructions for humans and megafauna suggest mixed causes for North American Pleistocene extinctions

Analysis of human and megafaunal population dynamics in Pleistocene North America and variation among taxa and region in whether hunting, climate or both best predict extinction is found is found.

Revisiting Paleoindian exploitation of extinct North American mammals

Pleistocene Overkill and North American Mammalian Extinctions

Clovis groups in Late Pleistocene North America occasionally hunted several now extinct large mammals. But whether their hunting drove 37 genera of animals to extinction has been disputed, largely…

Climate change not to blame for late Quaternary megafauna extinctions in Australia

This is the first comprehensive approach to incorporate uncertainty in fossil ages, extinction timing and climatology, to quantify mechanisms of prehistorical extinctions of megafaunal extinctions in the world's most controversial context.

What caused extinction of the Pleistocene megafauna of Sahul?

It is concluded that, although many knowledge gaps remain, multiple independent lines of evidence point to direct human impact as the most likely cause of extinction in Australia and New Guinea during the Pleistocene.

Range sizes and shifts of North American Pleistocene mammals are not consistent with a climatic explanation for extinction

Abstract The cause of the terminal Pleistocene extinctions in North America is debated but is most commonly ascribed to climate change or anthropogenic overkill. Based on contemporary extinction…

Human predation contributed to the extinction of the Australian megafaunal bird Genyornis newtoni ∼47 ka

Diagnostic burn patterns on eggshell fragments of the megafaunal bird Genyornis newtoni, found at >200 sites across Australia, were created by humans discarding eggshell in and around transient fires, presumably made to cook the eggs.

Megafaunal extinction in the late Quaternary and the global overkill hypothesis

The global blitzkrieg hypothesis explains differential rates of megafaunal extinction between the world's landmasses in the late Quaternary based on a proposed leap in predation efficiency enjoyed by colonising societies based on simplistic interpretations of complex biogeographicat and anthropological phenomena.

Selective hunting of juveniles as a cause of the imperceptible overkill of the Australian Pleistocene megafauna

A demographic population model is developed that considers explicitly the potential impact of harvest of small, immature individuals of the largest known marsupial, Diprotodon opoptatum, and shows that remarkably low levels of exploitation of juveniles would have been sufficient to drive these large species to extinction within centuries, as a consequence of their “slow” life-histories.

Rapid body size decline in Alaskan Pleistocene horses before extinction

It is shown that horses underwent a rapid decline in body size before extinction, and it is proposed that the size decline and subsequent regional extinction at 12,500 radiocarbon years before present are best attributed to a coincident climatic/vegetational shift.

The Archaeological Record of Human Impacts on Animal Populations

The history of this famous argument suggests that it is better seen as a statement of faith about the past rather than as an appeal to reason, and burgeoning knowledge of past human impacts on animals has important implications for the conservation biology of the future.

The elimination of megaherbivore influence is the major factor differentiating habitat changes at the end of the terminal Pleistocene glaciation from those occurring at previous glacial-interglacial transitions.
