Sadly, the published article referred to in the press will not be available on line to the end of the week. I'll post the link when it comes available on-line.
Both the original earlier scientific articles on this megafauna problem (referred in my previous post) are;
1) "
Late-surviving megafauna in Tasmania, Australia, implicate human involvement in their extinction" was published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Science of the United States (PNAS) - appearing 21st August 2008!!
http://www.pnas.org/content/105/34/1...-ffa0d67d824a;
(The actual supporting data for this paper is at;

2) Judith Field's article appears in the same journal 31st May 2005, entitled "
Prolonged coexistence of humans and megafauna in Pleistocene Australia"
http://www.pnas.org/content/102/23/8...c-5264c8ca2196
Both these are freely available in pdf form.
Trivia: President Obama addressed 146th Annual Meeting of this academy on 5th June 2009!
