5. I think you're giving humans too much credit... |

in the extinction of the large, ice-age mammals. There were other forces at work, such as a changing climate, which left many species like mammoths with dwindling habitat and food sources. I wouldn't rag on the native americans too much. Us white guys nearly wiped out the buffalo in a very few decades.
My belief is that all civilizations eventually reach a point when they become unsustainable, people realize that they are miserable and have been enslaved. It's more trouble than it's worth. They return to the land, and a simple happier life.
