Good job.
Also, it only happened at the same time as a major ecological shift.
There is no direct evidence that humans did it.

Obviously the OP is about megafauna THAT WERE ALIVE AT THE SAME TIME AS HUMANS.

Congratulations on saging a good thread due to massive levels of retardation. Please go one step further and remove yourself from /sci/. I suggest /v/ as a new place of residence.

There isn't any direct evidence though. What you are suggesting is coincidental, although humans likely played a hand in the extinction of North American and Australian megafauna. There are other factors that played into their extinction as well.

The OP was obviously implying that we should be said that we wiped out the largest land animals on Earth, and you humorously implied that you thought he was saying humanity was badass for wiping them out. The fact that you did it in the form of an innocent question makes it even funnier.

Good show sir.
