An excellent paper! Surely now the nay sayers must take notice,(Why they have not already is a mystery to me). However,I wish we could finally get over the very outdated idea that the early Clovis people lead to or contrinbuted in any significant way to the demise of the Ice Age mammals. For one thing early man was on the North and South American continents well before the Younger Dryas (coexisted then). Also, I am trying to put to rest the North Atlantic as the forcing mechanism for the Younger Dryas. The majority of proxy simply do not support the idea. See "Sudden Cold" for all the reason why this is so.
