Piney Posted May 22, 2020 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Quote "We cannot place humans at this 40,000-year-old crime scene, we have no firm evidence. Therefore, we find no role for humans in the extinction of these species of megafauna." Climate change and a mega drought has been purposed as the culprit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was right about Pea and Nut being close cousins to Clio and Dink. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
