Giant Beasts and Early Humans: New Findings Rewrite History
Recent archaeological discoveries suggest that ancient humans coexisted with giant sloths and mastodons in the Americas much earlier than previously believed. Sites in Brazil reveal evidence of human interaction with these massive creatures, challenging the long-held theory of "Pleistocene overkill."
Research indicates that humans may have arrived in the Americas over 27,000 years ago, living alongside these megafauna for millennia. Experts now question the narrative that humans rapidly caused their extinction, suggesting instead a complex relationship. What do you think about these new findings?
