The cause of the extinction of megafauna in NA is actually quite debated, and while humans likely played a part it's also likely that changing climates played a major part in their extinction as well. I may or may not have just had an Archaeology exam recently. This definitely does apply to bison though.

Khorne flakes? Is that what Steve Buscemi was "processed" to in Fargo?

To be fair, we killed plenty of the Afro Eurasian animals too.

I don't think it's necessarily because of humans that the woolly mammoths died out after the ice age either

"non-Afroeurasian" - so American and Autralian? (Or Ameritralian? Australican?)
