See the interesting thing is African megafauna evolved to be able to somewhat counterplay this, that's why they ain't extinct like megafauna everywhere else ended up going.
The horse was indigenous to North America before it was hunted to extinction there, making the age of exploration inadvertently one of the first ever native species repopulation projects.

Source? Not that I'm not believing what you said, but rather is the first time I've read about this and I would like to read some more.
I didn't know about the horse thing, I'm assuming they didn't consider them as transportation?
Too small at the time, it took a concerted breeding program for ancient steppe peoples to first breed horses able to pull chariots, and then big enough to be ridden.
Humans have been migrating over the world for tens of thousands of years and yet the horse was first able to be used for transportation about 4 thousand years ago.
"Why is the apecuck so wet there's no water here!"
"I don't want to live on the planet anymore" - all the extinct animals killed off by humans.

Been reading the "Deathworlders" novel. Earth is a Level-12 "deathworld". Too impossibly dangerous for sentient life to evolve on a Level-10. Gravity, parasites, bacteria, fungi, viruses, predators, solar radiation, extreme heat and cold, tectonic activity, tornadoes, hurricanes, all that.
Rest of the galaxy wrote us off as too dangerous to even investigate. And besides, there can't be intelligent life there.
Until Kevin chimps out on a space station...

Free book, kinda like a FOSS story, if you will, but not fan fiction either. Getting a little odd several thousand pages in, but I'm hanging in for the last 800 pages (out of 10,000+).
Google "humans fuck yeah" or "HFY" for more fiction along these lines.
This is great, I also love that it's just a website. Definitely going to give it a read!
Edit: read the first chapter last night and I'm already hooked. Thanks for the wonderful suggestion.
Ah yeah, the Predators of that universe invading a football stadion.
I'll have to check this out, thank you
Apeman is the It Follows monster of the animal kingdom.

Bitch please, I get out of breath walking to the fridge.

F tier? Megafauna with the ability to throw pointy sticks very far and without cost to themselves is a pretty big deal!
Are humans megafauna?
Edit: Apparently, yes. 🤯
Foxes aren't, but i think wolves are? Anyone knows where the "mega" starts?
You believe this shit? It's all just a scam by the big museum of natural history. Wake up sheeple!
I don't think we ever successfully hunted, it was all Sarah Palin aliens hanging out their ufos with semi-auto plasma rifles.
hax
This guy definitely watches TierZoo.
