ideas from reading http://www.megafauna.com/intro.htm
what brought the first wave of humans out of africa all the way to australia?
based on the "fossil" record - it would appear to be big game - the "megafauna"
an army can only move as far as its supply chain and an army only moves to aquire resources
the megafauna died out 13,000 years ago
pretty soon after that farming started
now the "fauna" are going extinct
we have exploited available resources to extinction since we left africa only 50,000 years ago
why?
because that behaviour has been rewarded with increased breeding opportunities
