"The lives of our ancestors are often romanticized. Many think they lived in balance with nature, unlike modern society... But when we look at the evidence of human impacts over millennia, it’s hard to see how this was true."

"Extinction timings closely match the timing of human arrival. The timing of megafauna extinctions was not consistent across the world; instead ... coincided closely with the arrival of humans on each continent."
