You obviously haven't read my paper. No matter where humans are, we
change too rapidly for anything but bacteria and viruses to adapt to
(successfully) us.

That has nothing to do with what I asked you. If you believe that man
in an exotic species everywhere but where he first appeared, then you
should return to where you are not an exotic species.


Those paleo-indians must have been some terrific hunters to bring to
extinction 135 species in maybe 400 years using only pointed sticks
and clovis pointed spears.

They we near Port Townsend, WA was a mammoth with a spear point in
its elbow, proving the point.

That's one incident. Since the extinctions began long before man set
foot on North America, real scientists do not agree on the degree to
which over hunting caused the extinctions.

It has EVERYTHING to do with it. Learn to read. Do your homework.

It proves that human-caused extinction is possible.

Why are you not willing to defend your position, but insist on making
personal attacks? Defend your position in this forum with scientific
fact, not opinion.

I know. I'm kind of like Don Quixote that way. Mike and I go back at
least ten years.

I did. You just refuse to READ it:

BS. It proves that human-caused extinction is possible. Didn't you
ever study mathematics? A single counter-example is enough to disprove
a proposition.

Mike, repeated personal attacks do nothing to support your arguments.
Facts do. Now please provide facts, not opinion, to support your
claims.

We are having a discussion on Usenet, not your homepage. If you have
something on your homepage that defends your position and consists of
fact, not opinion, please post it here. Pretend you are defending
your dissertation and the readers here are the committee.

I did not claim that human-caused extinction is not possible and we're
talking biology, not mathmatics.

Well, Mkey did say there were the remains of a single mammoth with a
single with a single worked stone point. Absolute factual material
leading one to postulate (claim?!) that mammoths knew how to work
chert into weapons.
