Abstract
In a recent study1 we used a novel statistical approach2 to investigate whether Late Quaternary changes in North American megafauna populations correlated with changes in human population densities (as is predicted by most “overkill” hypotheses), climate change, or both. Following the design of a recent study by Broughton and Weitzel3 and using their datasets, we found no relationship between human and megafauna population levels.
