Let's hope that that "something" wasn't smaller populations.
- csharptwdec19 5y agoIt does make one wonder about oral traditions of 'cursed' lands...
- learc83 5y agoThere were smaller populations of humans, but not smaller populations of mammals in general.
- maxerickson 5y agoWith our skill at making meat, I wonder how true that is.
- NaturalPhallacy 5y agoBison are much better at making meat than we ever were, before we all but wiped them out. Google piles of bison skulls for a peek.
- maxerickson 5y agoI think the comparison is hard more than it is obvious. There's an awful lot of humans, pets and livestock.
- learc83 5y agoA quick google search shows around 5 billion goats, cows, pigs, and sheep, 1.5 billion cats and dogs, and 8 billion humans. Compared to an estimated 130 billion wild mammals. That’s without the vast herds of herbivores that used to roam the plains of the world.
- heavyset_go 5y agoSomething like 100 billion people have died in the last 50k years, and it doesn't really seem like prions from their corpses have been a problem.
