Aboriginals+and+Megafauna

Aboriginals and Megafauna It is hypothesised that with the arrival of humans (around 48000-60000 years ago), hunting and the use of fire to manage their environment may have contributed to the extinction of the megafauna. Another theory suggests that the megafauna were so unafraid of humans (perhaps because of their size) that the Aboriginals could simply walk up to them and kill them.
