Still Waters Posted January 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2016 An apparently very tasty, 500-pound Australian bird was eaten to extinction by humans 50,000 years ago, new research concludes. The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, provide the first direct evidence that humans played a substantial role in the extinction of early Australian animals. In this case, the victim was a flightless 7-foot-tall bird known as Genyornis newtoni. http://news.discover...mans-160129.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark56 Posted January 30, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 30, 2016 When I read this the first thing that came to mind was " The Flintstones" intro. , where the waitress sets the giant rack of ribs on the car door, and it tips the car over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Cooper Merrin Posted January 31, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Makes you wonder if we were intentionally put here to wipe out certain fauna, we are a natural disaster, humanity its self is the mass extinction event this time round! im beginning to think that the earth is a mere game to far more advanced race 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted February 1, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Makes you wonder if we were intentionally put here to wipe out certain fauna, we are a natural disaster, humanity its self is the mass extinction event this time round! im beginning to think that the earth is a mere game to far more advanced race With that in mind, should we be as destructive as possible? If this is what mother nature wants, we should comply. Not really. Just playing devils advocate. A huge slow moving animal like that is easy prey. Too bad it didn't survive long enough for man to herd them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
