Imagine sitting in a very tippy kayak, no wider than your hips, and launching one of those things at a seal, or walrus, and trying not to die. It's unfathomable to me what humans have figured out over the years, even the kayaks of the Inuit and Greenland cultures are made of little else but animal bones, skin, and some bits of wood.
I concur at least a bit, the low CO2 levels from the last Ice Age probably had a lot more to do with it, and 'climate change' is determined to bring them even lower, particularly for the next Ice Age, low enough to eliminate us, perhaps.

Thank you for this. I'd never heard of an atlatl before. Fascinating.
Perhaps it is possible to blame the extinction of mega-fauna on man.
I don't think our numbers were really big enough to have much of an effect, at least so early on.
