Subject: LOL, even two million years ago hominins in Africa had devastating impacts on the megafauna there Thu Oct 09, 2014 4:14 am
It appears that our ancestors were wrecking habitat 15,000 years ago and not thinking about us.
There now appears to be evidence that even two million years ago hominins in Africa had devastating impacts on the megafauna there, greatly reducing the populations of large carnivores and large herbivores. We seem to have an innate capacity to cause tremendous damage to the natural world.
