In this book, the author digs through the evidence surrounding large animal extinction events worldwide, showing that understanding this history- and our part in it- is crucial for protecting the elephants, polar bears, and other great creatures at risk today.
Discusses the mass extinction of megafauna during the Pleistocene era and what could have caused the event, and looks at the descendants of megafauna living on the Earth today.
The papers focus on late Cenozoic mammals in North America and Africa and provide both site-specific descriptions of faunas and their associated geological contexts, and more general syntheses of regional palaeoenvironments and biogeography.
In this fresh and provocative view of a seven-million-year evolutionary journey, Finlayson demonstrates the radical implications for the interpretation of fossils and technologies and shows that understanding humans within an ecological context provides insights into the emergen…
In The Improbable Primate, Clive Finlayson takes an ecological approach to our evolution, considering the origins of modern humans within the context of a drying climate and changing landscapes. Finlayson argues that environmental change, particularly availability of water, play…
