>I thought the Americas' megafauna died after the ice age, not because of it?

There was a article that had "proof" that megafauna extinction was a result of Humans moving into that area. I think I saw it here in NH.

To me that is the theory I agree with.

I think it's a theory that should be regarded with suspicion. It too neatly aligns with modern world views and environmental concerns. That's not to say it's false, it may turn out to be true. Just as should tread carefully with it recognizing the social bias supporting it

There's probably social bias against it too, to the extent that it already means Australians burned down and killed everything, this would just be transferring that to other places.
