Giant sloths and mastodons lived with humans for millennia in the Americas, new discoveries suggest

New discoveries from several archaeological sites in North and South America suggest that ancient people first arrived in the New World much

“There was this idea that humans arrived and killed everything off very quickly — what’s called ‘Pleistocene overkill,’” said Daniel Odess, an archaeologist at White Sands National Park in New Mexico. But new discoveries suggest that “humans were existing alongside these animals for at least 10,000 years, without making them go extinct.”
