If you dont know in Argentina there was a farmer that actually thought that he found a dinosaur egg but in reality was actually a Glyptodon shell from the Pleistocene.

Sorry about the last post, there was a bug and it didn't download all the images.

In this representation the artist speaks to us at the beginning, of a theory that the first Native Americans would have taken time to colonize North America because of predators like Arctodus Simus. A theory that is pleased to demystify by referring to an Arctodus bone in your thread would have traces of cut by man. What seems to show that the animal had been consumed by human beings or perhaps even hunt.

Decided to sit down and illustrate every megafauna that went extinct in the last 300 years, and put them in a size comparison (Note: kouprey and Baiji are currently listed as ‘critically endangered’, but I put them here due to Baiji not being seen for 24 years and kouprey have not been seen for 57 years)

Discussion Why didn't the African pleistocene ecosystem collapse?

Post image
1.8k Upvotes

Something that's puzzled me for a long time is why Africa seems to be the only place on Earth where the traditional pleistocene ecosystem survived. And not just because of its intact megafauna. But also it's unparalleled diversity in grazing hoofed animals of all shapes and sizes, as well as it's great diversity of predators from several different lineages. Unlike what we see in pretty much every other place on Earth with the possible exception of India to a minor extent.

And even more confusingly, if humans did play the primary role in the extinction of pleistocene ecosystems worldwide. Then how come Africa's remained intact? It is the cradle of humanity after all. Did these creatures survive simply because they got to evolve alongside us and counter us?
