'Perfect Storm' of Humans and Climate Change Doomed Ice Age Giants

LiveScience: The saber-toothed cat, large ground sloth and other ice age giants of South America didn't go extinct solely because of climate change or prehistoric human activity, but because of a perfect storm of the two that hit the giant beasts at the same time, a new study finds. For years, researchers have debated what felled many of the megafauna animals that weigh more than 100 lbs. (45 kilograms) shortly after the end of the last ice age. Some scientists blamed humans, who had newly colonized the...

Nature World: Patagonia in South America was once the home of Ice Age giants, like huge sloths, bears and saber-toothed cats. Suddenly, they all died at exactly the same time--around 12,300 years ago. A new study published in the journal Science Advances revealed that the species were killed off as a result of human activities and rapid climate change. Molecular biologist Alan Cooper of the University of Adelaide said his team discovered that human hunting drove a swift blow to the populations of these Ice...

Daily Galaxy: Giant Ice Age species including elephant-sized sloths and powerful sabre-toothed cats that once roamed the windswept plains of Patagonia, southern South America, were finally felled by a perfect storm of a rapidly warming climate and humans, a new study has shown. Research led by the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA (ACAD) at the University of Adelaide, published today in Science Advances, has revealed that it was only when the climate warmed, long after humans first arrived in Patagonia, did the...
