Many large
vertebrate species went extinct during the late Pleistocene.
Scientist do not
know what caused these extinctions remains. However, climate change and human
impacts have been suggested, they suppose that the La Brea tar pits in California
where many animal fossils have been found tell a story of fire-related ecosystems—and large
mammal extinction has been discovered.
