These two factors, linked for both good and ill for the past half-millennium, have affected every aspect of life on earth, and are thus fitting subjects to commemorate in a record such as this.

To these more familiar examples of late Quaternary extinction (LQE), younger fossils recently recovered from oceanic islands, including bird and land snail taxa from the Pacific and various endemic t

The Power of Pleistocene Hunter-Gatherers,These early people may have been at least partly responsible for the extinctions (Martin and Klein, 1984). In this chapter we address some questions about Paleoindian foraging and the possible effect it had on mammoth populations. We also offer suggestions about the nature of the debate that has con
