Another myth is that the native Americans lived in ecological harmony with
the land, but just a few thousand years ago the megafauna in the Americas
was more spectacular than even what could be found in Africa, but it all
vanished almost immediately when humans moved in for the first time. The
native Australians and New Zealanders did the same thing with their
megafauna.
