Abstract
The question of what caused the late Quaternary extinction of the Rancholabrean fauna in the California glacial refugium is examined. In the absence of significant climatic and other natural environmental change, man was probably the principal agent of extinction in California. This extinction event marked the beginning of a long history of environmental impact in the area by humans.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
